PSAL "B" Semifinals Results

Entering the Semifinals my prediction was Taft would defeat River dale in a extra inning game in a score of 3-2 with great pitching and defense to keep the games close, instead a high scoring game by Taft got them into the finals. And for Health Profession Bronx Science Cinderella story would come to an end as Michael Corona would pitch the game of his life.

Coming into the 2009 season River dale/kings bridge NO.1 seed in PSAL Baseball "B" division felt that they should of been moved up to the A division after making it to the semifinals in 2008 but lost. River dale came into this season confident with the starting pitching staff returning and a experience line up. River dale/kings bridge is the only undefeated team in the B division with a (19-0) record will be facing the NO.5 seed (18-1) record with their only lost to River dale earlier during the season in a 3-1 game.
