“The level of competition has stepped up from last year coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, where schools were limited with practice, so there was not any continuity. This year saw most of the schools being able to catch up and get back up to speed. The girls division was very competitive, especially the senior girls where the level has improved a lot. Most of the schools have improved their pitching, as they have employed windmill pitching and not the lob pitching anymore,” Beckford said.
The junior girls game will see the defending champions and second seed St. Augustine’s College (SAC) Big Red Machine (3-1) play third seed St. Anne’s Schools Blue Waves (2-2). The second seed Blue Waves (3-2) will take on third seed Nassau Christian Schools Crusaders (3-2) in the junior boys division.
In the senior girls division, second seed Queen’s College Comets (8-1) take on third seed St. John’s College Giants (7-2). Rounding out the games today will be the senior boys division, which pits second seed Kingsway Academy Saints (7-1) against the defending champions and third seed Crusaders (7-1).
Thursday will kick off with the pennant winners Comets (4-0) against fourth seed Crusaders (1-3) in the junior girls division. The junior boys division will see pennant winners SAC (4-0) face off against fourth seed Temple Christian Sun (2-3). A new champion will be crowned in the junior boys division as the defending champions, the Comets, did not make the playoffs.
In the senior girls division, the pennant winners SAC (9-0) play against the defending champions and fourth seed Crusaders (5-4). The final playoff matchup will see the pennant winners SAC (7-1) take on fourth seed Comets (4-4).https://de8a581aa3816a88cd8982f33d7c5dfd.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html
