A pair of Long Islanders went toe-to-toe with a gator yesterday.
Lucky for them, the critter was a 33-inch toddler.
Ron Settino, a 63-year-old retiree from Franklin Square, said he'd spotted the American alligator dozens of times in a Hewlett pond since March.
Settino got a hand from fishing buddy, 20-year-old Jared Baglietto.
The duo wrapped some black electrical tape around the animal's jaw until wildlife officials could arrive.
