Not sure if Rochester is in at large contention, but they just got eliminated by RIT in the LL tournament.  Same story every season come playoffs, they have the hitting but run out of pitching pretty quick.

They're a solid maybe. It won't help if Cortland also needs a Pool C and they got bumped into the loser's bracket in the SUNYAC tournament today.

Ithaca, I'm told, is a good Pool C candidate but I would prefer to simply beat RIT once tomorrow and not have to worry about it.

Looks like Cortland losing the SUNYAC championship knocked Rochester out.  Given the gaudy offensive numbers this year's senior class had every year, pretty disappointing way to go out.  First round exits in the NCAA tournament followed by this season where they didn't make it.  Just shows how important pitching is.

Ithaca faces Endicott MA (43-7) in Friday/Saturday NCAA tourney best-of-3 Super Regional at Endicott in Beverly MA. Endicott on Monday twice beats Johnson & Wales RI in weather delayed Bridgewater MA Regional.
    Eight Super Regionals qualifying eight teams for World Series in Cedar Rapids IA.

It's baseball season...The news for Union is that they have a new coach. After the retirement of coach Paul Mound after 13 seasons and three LL championships the bench now belongs to John Muller who comes over from Mt. Saint Vincent's. This also means the Garnet are going to be moving back to Schenectady to play at the recently renovated Central Park "A" diamond. Personally I'm going to miss venerable old Shuttleworth Park and so will Liberty League hitters with it's short fences. The A diamond is a all weather turf field and has more conventional fences.

Ithaca had a rough opening weekend, but has reeled off seven straight wins, including two over Top 25 Arcadia. In years' past, Ithaca's success (or lack thereof) on their spring trips has really mirrored their overall success. So it's encouraging to see

Lot of graduation losses from last year has the league looking a bit down compared to the last two seasons. Rochester lost a ton including Whitley who is using his 5th year at Richmond. Suspect Ithaca will be the clear #1 until proven otherwise. Union is 6-1 but haven't really played anyone. Pitching has been SLU's downfall the last two seasons in division play, looks like there a couple improvements in that department. Even with Caleb Clark transferring to Endicott the SLU outfield looks pretty solid on defense and at the plate so far.  Surprised at RIT's record but it's still early goings.  Given the results over the last decade you still can't count out RPI and Union.
