Odain Burton scored a first-half penalty giving his team a 3-1 lead on aggregate. Oneil White's late second-half goal for Racing made things interesting, as the lead dropped to one (3-2), but Valdo Morgan's blast from 40-yards out iced the game for Braeton with a couple of minutes left on the referee's watch.
The final is scheduled for the 13th and 20th of April.
