Rookie Pulaski‘s season ended yesterday. They finished with the best record in the league (by five games!) and begin their best-of-three first round playoff matchup against Princeton tomorrow. (That’s Princeton, WV, not Princeton, NJ, in case you were thinking about catching a game.) The winner of that series will then play the winner of the Kingsport-Greeneville series in the best-of-three Appalachian League Championship Series.
The season is over for both Rookie GCL Yanks affiliates. Neither qualified for the postseason.
