Mamaroneck’s two-time state championship baseball team will be honored with a parade on Friday 
afternoon.
The festivities will start at 4 p.m. at the intersection of Palmer Avenue and Larchmont Avenue, come down Larchmont Avenue, and will end with a reception in front of Village Hall.
The Tigers won their second straight Class AA state championship on Saturday when they beat Clarence 12-2 at NYSEG Stadium in Binghamton. That followed an emotional 4-3, 11-inning win over Massapequa in a semifinal.
The Tigers, coached by Mike Chiapparelli and featuring 17 seniors, became the first Westchester County program to repeat since Ardsley won four straight Class C titles from 1986-89.
Mamaroneck finished its season at 23-4-1.
“Last year was awesome. It was the first time and that was an unbelievable feeling,” senior Eric Windsor said Saturday. “I think this time was better. Senior year and we just ended on the best note we could possibly end on.”
