If you want to know how Oyster Bay got to the Class B championship game, read Newsday’s story here. Seems reluctant hero Billy Clark hit a grand slam with two outs in the seventh of a tie game.
Another dramatic ending in Class C, where Mike D’Auria’s walkoff single propelled Port Jefferson to a 3-2 win. Note how this story begins in the exact same way as the Oyster Bay story even though they were written by different reporters.
If you’re a Kennedy fan looking for directions to North Shore High School, here they are from Somers:
1. Merge onto I-684 S toward WHITE PLAINS (Passing through CONNECTICUT, then crossing into NEW YORK).
2. Keep LEFT to take I-684 S via EXIT 1 toward WHITESTONE BR.
3. I-684 S becomes HUTCHINSON RIVER PKWY S.
4. Merge onto I-95 S via EXIT 4S toward G WASH BR.
5. Keep LEFT to take I-695 S via EXIT 7A toward I-295/THROGS NECK BR/LONG ISLAND (Portions toll).
6. I-695 S becomes I-295 S.
7. Take the CROSS IS PKWY exit toward EASTERN L I.
8. Merge onto CROSS ISLAND PKWY S.
9. Merge onto I-495 E/LONG ISLAND EXPY via EXIT 30E toward EASTERN LONG IS.

Keio fans looking to get to Stony Brook’s baseball field can follow these directions:
Take the Hutchinson Parkway south over the Whitestone Bridge to the Long Island Expressway (LIE, I-495) eastbound to exit 62, and follow Nicolls Road (Route 97) north for 9 miles. Use the north entrance to campus. At the top of the hill, make a right on Circle Road and the baseball field is immediately on your left. Park in the train station parking lot on your right.

Hey Guys-
If you have a chance today, can you post directions for the Mamk game at Union-Endicot. Thank you.
Will you guys be doing live updates on all of the games today?
We'll post everything you need to know for Binghamton tomorrow, including directions to all games.
Today we'll have live updates coming from both games, so keep checking back.
Go kennedy!!! Can't wait to see you at Binghamton!!! Lets GO!
I know that Section One will be represented with at least one umpire at the states, I hope its not any of the three from the Keio – Millbrook game. They do not deserve another game based on their performance and supposed after game comments to the Millbrook fans. But then again based on what I have seen in the past at state tournaments they could be shining stars up there. Good Luck to all of the Section One teams.
Are the sites close enough to be able to see more than on of the Section's teams play?
Thanks for keeping us updated! Go Kennedy!!!!
