In a continuing effort to improve the level of competition and quality of baseball in the P.S.A.L., the 2010 schedule will feature changes to the current divisional alignment in Brooklyn and the Bronx. The P.S.A.L. is pleased to announce that two (2) teams will be elevated to the “B” Division.  Beginning first in the Bronx, due to their strong success in developmental league play, Morrisania Educational Campus and Bathgate Educational Campus  will now play in the “B“ Division.

The teams will be made up of the top three (3) teams from each division and two (2) at large teams in “A” and “B” Divisions to be selected by the Commissioner’s Seeding Committee.
