Tappan Zee Softball to Play Pearl River for Title Saturday

Tappan Zee shut out Ursuline, 5-0, Friday to set up an all-Rockland County Section 1 Class A softball championship game against rival Pearl River 3 p.m. Saturday at North Rockland. 

Pearl River won, 9-2, at Eastchester Friday to earn its trip to the finals.

Tappan Zee split two meetings with Pearl River this season, with each team winning on the other's home field. 

Both teams are balanced, with the ability to win with their bats, their defenses and their pitching. Pitchers Paulina Gutkin of Tappan Zee and Mandy McCarthy of Pearl River, both juniors, have each given up a total of two runs in three playoff games.
