Saratoga Springs 3B Eric Beer

Saratoga Springs' boys baseball team is one win away from clinching its first Section II Class AA playoff berth since 2011 after picking up a 7-6 win over Columbia and an 11-6 victory over Niskayuna this week. The Blue Streaks need one win in their final four league games — starting with Friday's 4:15 contest vs. Shaker at Eastside Rec — to get the job done. Shenendehowa, Columbia and Niskayuna have already clinched playoff berths in Class AA while Burnt Hills' 8-4 record has the Spartans into the Class A sectional field. Saratoga Springs, Shaker and Guilderland are one win away from the postseason while Ballston Spa and Colonie must win all four of their remaining games to qualify.
