Tonight, the Staten Island Yankees will begin their best-of-three New York-Penn League championship series in Morgantown, West Virginia against the West Virginia Black Bears (Pittsburgh Pirates). This series is a rematch of the one that took place in Morgantown from July 24-26, when West Virginia swept Staten Island, but both teams look different since then.
The Baby Bombers had the last three days off after sweeping the Tri-City Valleycats (Houston Astros) in the semifinal round. Pat Osborn’s team, which has won six straight games, will be looking to win the organization’s seventh championship and the franchise’s first since 2011.
