The Warde Mustangs were the final team to punch their playoff ticket, as they knocked off the Ridgefield Tigers, 5-3, on Friday. The win gave the Mustangs and Tigers matching 7-8 league records, with Warde earning the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The Ludlowe Falcons and St. Joseph Cadets finished tied for second place with league records of 13-2, but the Falcons took the No. 2 seed based on their 4-3 victory over the Cadets on May 7.
The Stamford Black Knights, who had a seven-game winning streak snapped by Trumbull in their regular-season finale, took the No. 4 seed with an 11-4 league mark.
The Norwalk Bears are 10-4 in the league and still have to finish their conference schedule, as they’re set to face Darien on Sunday. The Bears can match Stamford’s league record but would lose the tiebreaker, so they are set at No. 5 regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s game.
The Danbury Hatters (9-6) took the No. 6 seed, followed by the No. 7 Staples Wreckers (8-7), and the No. 8 Warde Mustangs (7-8).
