Rain Continues to Make a Mess of Sports Schedules

The Pearl River baseball team (12-4) is a game away from winning a League 4-B championship.

Now if the weather will let the Pirates get a game in.

Pearl River is 5-1 in league play, but both of its meetings with Albertus Magnus were rained out this week. The Pirates will try again at home 4 p.m., then 1 p.m. Sunday at Albertus. A win in either game would give Pearl River the league title. Today's home game is also senior recognition day for the Pirates. It is set to be played at the high school, but if that field is not playable, they would move to Veteran's Memorial Park.

Pearl River must complete its league schedule before the Section 1 playoff pairings meeting set for Tuesday, May 24. The meeting had been scheduled for Monday, May 23, but it was moved back because so many games were rained out this week and all season.

The Pearl River softball team managed to get two games in this week, beating Tappan Zee Monday and Albertus Magnus Thursday, but still has one league game left with each of those opponents before next week's pairings meeting. The Pirates are scheduled to play at Albertus Magnus 2 p.m. Sunday. Pearl River is scheduled to play Tappan Zee at home May 23. They also have a non-league game at North Rockland 11 a.m. Saturday.
