Billed as a “sibling rivalry,” the girls’ softball teams of Battery Park City sister schools IS 89 and IS 276 faced off last month in a playoff game that determined who would go on to face IS 223 in the next round.

That honor went to the 89 Cougars as they overtook the Chargers 19 to 9 in a game that saw most runs forced in on bases-loaded walks—but with some good fielding and spirited base running from both sides along the way.

The Cougars went on to lose a 7-6 heartbreaker to IS 223. The Lab School took home the championship.

The two teams are run as part of Manhattan Youth’s after-school program. Leyna Madison coached the Cougars and Frankie Alameda led the Chargers.
