Fontbonne beats Molloy to win JV Tier 1 City Championship
In a repeat of last season’s JV championship game, number one seeded (11-1) Fontbonne hosted number three seeded (10-2) Molloy at Preller Park in Floral Park.
After losing the 2018 championship to Molloy in a highly contested game by the narrow score of 6-5, the Bonnies were anxious for a rematch. However, this season’s rematch would be played with a strange twist, as the championship was stretched out over a two-day span as a suspended game.
In a game in which Fontbonne led 2-0, Molloy came back in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2, sending the contest into extra innings. In the eighth inning, both teams scored a run for a 3-3 tie, just as the scheduled field time ran out for the game to be completed. With the score tied, the umpires sent both teams off the field with instructions to finish the game the following day.
