Saturday’s action begins at 9 p.m. as the Pleasantville Lions team plays two games right away, the first against East End Bar, Independence and the second at 10:30 against Striker’s Lanes, Baldwin. 

Ffats plays Shamps at 12:30 p.m. before East End takes on Strikers at 2. 

The consolation game will be at 3:30 p.m. followed by a third-place game at 5:30 and a championship at 7.
