9-10's TOURNAMENT TEAM UPDATE

WSLL's Mighty 9-10 HAWKS Beat Brooklyn's Spring Creek Little League by a score of 8 -1 to advance in the Little League Sectionals.

They face Staten Island Saturday, 7/26, out in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn at 10am.

DIRECTIONS TO KINGS BAY PARK IN BROOKLYN FOR SATURDAY JULY 26th --10am game-- 9-10's Second Sectional Game:

1. B train (Central Park West/6th Avenue local) all the way out to Sheepshead Bay (The B becomes an express in Brooklyn), then the B4 bus to Coyle Street. Hopstop.com estimates the travel time from the upper west side is about an hour and a half... If you would rather walk than take that bus (I suspect you would not), the site estimates it is a 20 minute walk.
2. If you are on the upper west side, you might save some time taking 2 or 3 express to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and transferring there to the the B (or the Q ... see below). Otherwise, go to Central Park West and take the B all the way.
3. The Q train (express in Manhattan, but local in Brooklyn) serves the same Sheepshead Bay subway station, from which you would take the same B4 bus or walk.
4. OR just go to hopstop.com and you can find easy directions to the game from wherever you are traveling from!
5. DRIVING DIRECTIONS: These are directions to the clubhouse for Kings Bay LL, on the northeast corner of Vorhees Ave and Coyle St. The fields appear to be just to the south of Vorhees Ave.

From Googled Map

End 2670 Coyle St
Brooklyn, NY 11235
Travel 22.5 mi -- about 41 mins

1. West Side Highway South to Battery Park Tunnel
2. Take the Battery Tun ramp on the left to I-278/Brooklyn 0.3 mi 2 mins
3. Merge onto Brooklyn Battery Tunnel Partial toll road 1.9 mi 4 mins
4. Continue on Gowanus Expy (signs for Hamilton Ave) 2.9 mi 4 mins
5. Slight left at Belt Pkwy E (signs for Belt Pkwy) 9.4 mi 12 mins
6. Take exit 9A toward Sheepshead Bay/Knapp St 404 ft
7. Merge onto Shore Pkwy 0.2 mi
8. Turn left at Knapp St 0.2 mi 2 mins
9. Turn left at Voorhies Ave 0.2 mi 1 min
10. Turn right at Coyle St 243 ft

Last step -- I THINK the fields are actually to the left (South) at corner of Vorhies and Coyle. These directions are to the clubhouse...

If you want to avoid the toll for the Battery tunnel, the Brooklyn Bridge to the BQE West to the Gowanus works as well...

GO WEST SIDE!
