It's Denville vs. Sussex in playoff game on Friday
DENVILLE - Denville will face Sussex in the 5:30 p.m. championship game of the Morris-Sussex American Legion Senior Baseball League's post-season playoffs at High Point High School on Friday, July 15, 2011.
Sussex defeated Parsippany, 5-4, in a playoff semifinal on Wednesday, July 13, to reach the title game, a day after Denville gained its berth in the championship game with a 7-4 victory over previously unbeaten and regular-season champ Pequannock (16-1-1).
Parsippany's loss also clinched a berth in the American Legion State Tournament for Denville.
The top five teams at the end of the regular season automatically qualify for the state tournament unless the playoff champion is a team that finished out of the top five.
Pequannock (16-0-1), Mount Morris (13-3-1), Sussex (12-5), Morristown (12-5) and Denville (12-5) were the top five teams (in order) at the end of the regular season with Parsippany (8-8) finishing in ninth place. If Parsippany beat Sussex on Wednesday and then beat Denville on Friday, Parsippany would have qualified and Denville would have been bumped out of the top five and failed to qualify.

"He was almost automatic out there," Tonero said of Parinello, who was 4-2 at Morris Catholic High School this past spring. "He was getting a lot of his strikeouts on only three pitches ... he throws gas, has a nice curve and had control of both pitches yesterday."
Denville faces Morristown at Veterans Memorial Field Monday, June 13, at 6 p.m.; returns to Veterans Field on Tuesday, June 14, for a 6 p.m. game against Musconnetcong; faces Newton in a Saturday, June 18, doubleheader at Veterans Field with games starting at 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and plays two more games on Sunday, June 19, facing Sugarloaf at Delbarton School in 10 a.m. game and then traveling to Milton for a 2 p.m. game against Jefferson.
