Any thoughts on players from NY in the Draft this year.

D'Amato from St John Fisher may get a look, any others?

Tough one for Union. Walk off in the 9th on first batter for reliever. Down 2-0 already this afternoon. hopefully they can come back and get at least one win in the regional. Doesn't look good for the league - 1,2 and a BBQ.

I'm with you airball! If someone from another region comes out of the NY region, we'll never get the respect the region deserves. It's already happened a few other times and that's not good.

Cortland wins it with Rutgers Camden as the sleeper.

This should be a crazy regional. Anybody making picks?

The NCAA committee had never thought of NY as a good region. It's a shame but until NY gets the walnut and bronze and is in the discussion every year as a contender, the committee looks at it as a place to ship other teams. I agree, St John Fisher should probably had a better look. 2 words for the Empire 8 - automatic bid. Find a way to make it happen.

Congrats to Union on winning the leagues automatic bid. Hopefully the boys from Schenectady can do a little damage in the regional. Kean is going to be a tough matchup for a bunch of first timers, but you never know.

No Empire 8 teams! This league really needs to figure out a way to get an automatic bid. Hopefully Ithaca will be on board now that they were left at the alter and still have to host.

Vassar just dispatched Clarkson. I have Rochester taking out Union and Union taking down Vassar this evening.

Should be a good tourney, if they can play it. RPI struggled this year trying to get all the games in in a short time period really hurt them. Having to start 2 freshman against Rochester for their first collegiate starts against Roch #1 & 2 was not good. In the end they still had a chance but came out flat against St Lawrence and that cost them. Skidmore should be ashamed of themselves not even putting up a fight. HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN LEAGUE HISTORY! Nice job Coach Plourde, really had the boys playing I see. Congrats to Union, Rochester, Clarkson and Vassar. May the best team win!

My Pick is going to be Rochester or Clarkson. It's Rochester's time

I would love to see the Jackets do something in the LL playoffs. Joe does a great job and the kids deserve a long stay in the playoffs.

Vassar and Skidmore playing single games mid week instead of DH's when the weather was terrific. League doesn't even allow for that. They made up their own rules to not extend pitching. Look at past years also. Same teams always trying to beat the system and not allow the kids to play. Do it on the field not in the offices.

This is going to be a crazy weekend in the LL. Only 2 schools eliminated from playoff contention. What really bothers me is team not trying to play the full league schedule. Hopefully those teams don't make it so their coaches realize they screwed their kids by not playing the games on the field. I would love to see some of these schools trying to sneak in by not playing get it in the end by pct. points. Vassar has a leg up on people coming into the weekend playing Bard. St Lawrence/RPI series will determine one spot, RIT/Union could determine who will be hosting and Clarkson/Skidmore will determine if Clarkson gets in.

Let's hope for good weather and all teams play all 4 games. Doubt that will happen knowing some of these coaches. They'll be watching to see if others will be playing to see how they can sneak in without playing. Sad state of affairs, but true. Rochester gets the gold star for putting it on the line and playing all 24 league contests. Glad they made it! Good job Yellowjackets

I understand those points, but league regulations say if you play a makeup in the middle of the week, it must be a DH. pitching depth is why they choose not to play 2, not missed class time. Put in on the line and let the student athletes decide the league, not coaches trying to play the system.

At least Skidmore decided to play 2 against RPI yesterday.

The move to the fall will never happen. If you look at the SUNYAC conference they always get their league games in. In no other conference in the nation can you play half your games and have it considered to be ok and make the playoffs on your winning percentage. It was 60 degrees yesterday and the Skidmore/Vassar decided to play 1, yes one game. If I were a student athlete on those teams and a parent of them I would be outraged. With all the cancellations due to the weather when they get the chance to play, to only play one because the coaches don't want to extend their pitching is unacceptable. Coaches, play the games! That is what the student athletes want to do. The commish needs to step in and mandate that the league games are played. If you don't have pitching depth, go recruit!

Looks like Clarkson and RPI had a couple of good ones. I heard that the centerfielder for RPI in game 1 lost the ball in the sun in the 8th to score all three runs. Anyone there to confirm?

Thanks for the update. What do you think about the Vassar/Skidmore situation
