RODGER’S QUICK TAKE

Ilike the format change for the Class AA baseball finals. For the first time, it’s a best-of-three series at Joe Bruno Stadium to determine the Section II champion. This gives the favored team a chance to battle back if it loses Game 1, and it gives both teams a better chance to adjust their pitching depth. One extra day or even two changes the strategy on how each manager approaches the game. Rodger Wyland is the sports director for Newschannel 13. Listen to him weekdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on WTMM (104.5 FM, “The Team”).
