Cards survive!  Now let's get the Dragons another win today.  It is nice to see Fisher get a W.  The Keystone game was just a very strange/bad game.  Last night was a bit more indicative of how this team has been playing.  Good luck to Cortland today.  NY teams all get at least one win...another good sign for the region.

Strange game and well reported Magicman. I suspect Fisher will respond well tonight.  It was a game where after I could see the video, it looked like they were going to score.  Keystone had some real nice plays in the OF that kept the Cards off the board and the nine run inning obviously sealed the deal.  Lewis just never got ahead of guys enough.  Keystone can hit.  We will see how it goes tonight.  Fisher will come back with Iseneker who is very good.

This is why the schools should have the rights to the video/live stats.  Very disappointing yet not surprising that we can't watch these games, follow the games, etc...Kind of a joke to frank but it is what it is.  The NCAA can't get out of their own way as usual.  Maybe there is a basketball scandal going on somewhere taking all their time ;D

Ralph, NY has been quite balanced minus Cortland.  Oswego recently has made a big jump.  Brockport for years was the number 2 team in that league.  Oneonta had a decent run.  Ithaca obviously for years as well as RPI were right behind Cortland.  St. John Fisher has emerged with their Coach Potter over the past seven years from a decent team to a regional force.  Rochester, Clarkson, Union have all had nice clubs.  It's actually quite balanced.  Cortland just has that Physical Education component with a great staff that is hard to top.  Baseball is most definitely on the uptick in the state.

Congrats to the Cards!  This program deserves this.  They have been awfully consistent over the past 7 years.  Definitely just a step behind Cortland but a top 2 team in this region for some time.  After being close in some at large bids, they do the committee right by earning the two seed and having a chance to play for it all.  With Cortland advancing, it gives the NY region two teams in the college world series...so much for baseball being a southern sport...the defending national champs are back, joined by another region team. If it wasn't for Tufts, Oswego may have joined them as well...good luck to all.

sjfcards...where are you?  This board has gone silent with a team making a run here!!  Nine in the 8th..wow.  Were you at the game?  The video feed is average at best.  Umass Boston today who looks like a good matchup.  Cortland and Fisher have control of their regions. Not bad for a state where weather is bad, you can't play baseball, etc...

Digging a lot of my picks!!  And, I want to change my Umass Boston pick.  Fisher is rolling and let's get them through this game.  I can't see any team in this regional beating them twice if it comes to that.  Impressive right now.  The ole NY region is being represented well right now.  Cortland gets anticipated matchup with Ramapo. Oswego will still be a tough out in that regional.

Cortland winner...Fisher winner...Union has lead into ninth and bullpen can't hold. Fischman dominant again.  Oswego tied up late with East Conn. The video with the East. Conn vs Oswego game is great. Fisher regional has number one seed go down.  I had the chance to see games at Auburn...like Cortland's chances but Ramapo dodged a big bullet and can ride that momentum..Great time of year!

Let's have some fun here!  I will start the regional picks..nothing but online bragging rights to the winners:
NY: CORLTAND, best draw in sometime. Ramapo could easily lose first game to Union, this regional is weakest in my eyes.
Mid Atlantic: UMASS Boston, I want to pick Fisher and think they can win this but I am going with a longshot here.
South: Birmingham Southern, tough region, all six teams are good. I still can't believe Marietta was shipped here.
Central: Wisc. Whitewater, simply because of the differences in first game.  Rose Hulman is a tough team for Wartburg
Mideast: Randolph Macon, this region is also very good at top, top four could all come out here.
Midwest: UW Lacrosse, and that gives me two teams from same league in world series.
New England: Wheaton, but I think Oswego has a real shot here, as does Suffolk
West: Trinity, and my pick to win the whole thing

It would be nice to see Cortland, Oswego and Fisher in the world series and of course we all will be rooting for that.

Well said Bombers...I was surprised to see them get shipped.  But, that might not be a bad thing.  We just wanted to see Fisher, Oswego and the other NY teams play closer to home.

Well, the teams I thought would get in got in.  However, where they are playing is a totally different animal.  Oswego and Fisher get shipped out of NY.  Why, I have no idea.  Both teams literally an hour from Auburn NY at most and go to PA and Conn.  Yet, Frostburg, Ramapo and Susquehanna end up in NY.  Very confusing.  So much for travel considerations LOL.  And, for the folks that like to follow D3 baseball in NY, the region gets awarded 6 teams and only three stay in region.  Lots of shifting and in my view unnecessary travel.  Oswego to me gets particularly hosed a bit here.  That's a tough 8 teamer over there and although they are the 2 seed they get traditionally strong East. Conn as a 7 seed.  Suffolk is a very good 5 seed there.  On the flip side, Ramapo, who was number one for a time this year runs into Union as Fischman.  After that, I love Cortland to get through NY again.

Buy your tickets.  I can't see how they don't get in.  The schedule strength got better as well as Marietta, Haverford, season series wins against Ithaca (who played well at the end), Stevens, Brockport and a split against a likely tournament team in Oswego shouldn't hurt the cause.  After looking at the resume's of both Fisher and Oswego, there really isn't a lot of difference.  And I think Oswego is a sure thing. Both have marquee wins, few bad losses and challenged themselves.  Fisher should be dancing, question is...where?  They have been moved before to accommodate out of region teams here in NY. If they get to stay, I like their chances as well as anyone's.  If Cortland, Oswego and Fisher are in this regional, this is a very good region.  And, Union has as good of an ace as anyone...not so sure about their pitching depth after that but they are solid.

Regardless of the outcome tomorrow I can't see how Fisher does not get in the tournament.  Really only one bad loss on the schedule (Utica) in the tournament.  And, now they get a win versus Stevens and Ithaca.  I think you could argue for them to be the 2 seed in NY rather than not getting an at large.  And, regardless of having to play more games will still have pitching left for another game.  Should be a good game...Ithaca looking to win back to back conference tournaments as underdogs.

I stand corrected. All I know is 30-9 in the OAC which followed up a 28-12 is pretty darn good in that league.  No easy games over there.  They have had a nice couple of years... we can leave it at that ;D
