PSAL baseball rankings

There’s nothing surprising about this championship game.

While the PSAL Class A playoffs were full of upsets and Cinderella runs, longtime powers George Washington and Tottenville are the last two standing and will meet in the finals Saturday at MCU Park in Coney Island. That’s not the only game left in the baseball season – Martin Van Buren and John Bowne meets in the ‘B’ final on Saturday as well.

It was an action-packed week and we have all the details below as the season nears completion:

1. George Washington (21-0) (Last week: 1)

It’s funny how baseball works sometimes. Fernelys Sanchez was at the head of legendary coach Steve Mandl’s suspension for alleged recruiting, the player Lehman coach Adam Droz accused Mandl of recruiting, and of course he figures prominently in the Trojan’s PSAL Class A semifinal sweep of Lehman. He has the game-winning, two –run single in Game 1 and a possible game-saving catch in Game 2. It was a weekend the junior will remember for a long time.

Tottenville and catcher George Kantzian are second in The Post's PSAL baseball rankings entering Saturday's championship game against No. 1 George Washington.

2. Tottenville (22-1) (2)

If there is a better hitter in New York City than Kevin Krause, we have yet to see that player. The Stony Brook-bound senior, who had interest but far bigger programs but opted to stay local, put on an absolute show in Tottenville’s PSAL Class A semifinal sweep of Grand Street Campus. He went 5-for-6, walked twice, was hit by a better, had four RBIs and scored four runs. Oh, and he was bothering leg ailments, too. The America East Conference is getting a flat-out hitting machine.

3. Grand Street Campus (18-3) (3)

Remind us if this sounds familiar. Grand Street enjoys a memorable regular season, is touted a city title contender, but falls flat in the postseason. If it does, it should – history repeated itself over the weekend in the PSAL Class A semifinals as the Wolves were swept by Tottenville. Losing to the defending champions was understandable, but not really showing up was a head scratcher.

4. Lehman (17-4) (4)

The Lions were planning to get back to the city title game, George Washington just wouldn’t cooperate. Lehman was out-gunned in the PSAL Class A semifinals, though its lack of clutch hitting and loose defense didn’t help matters. Still it was another successful year for coach Adam Droz and is players just to get this far after losing so many integral pieces off last year’s club.
