Which team are you referring to?

What methodology does Hero Sports use?

Appeal denied but Union bailed them out by sweeping Vassar.

You are right about Union not embarrassing themselves.  They could have, should have beaten Kean last night.  Their freshman right fielder has trouble with two balls in the lights and dropped them both which led to two Kean runs.  They should have been up by two heading to the ninth instead of being tied.  Then they had an early turn around today after the Kean affair ended around midnight.  The team looked and played flat against Stevens.  Could have been a different story had they beaten Kean.

Shimkin, your point on the stats is valid but not in the case of Union.  Union outscored Bard 5-3 over the two games they played.  Those games hurt their team batting avg. and since they did not play four games, the team ERA wasn't impacted very much.   Had they played the other two games and shut them out, then you could make your case. 

As for the games today, Warren threw a gem and overmatched Clarkson.  Rochester did just enough with the bats to keep him comfortable.  In the second game, the matchup between the two top freshman pitchers went to Fishman.   He was clearly the better pitcher today with eight K's over eight innings and allowing only three hits to a good hitting Vassar squad.  Erkis was solid but not as dominant as Fishman.  Zaziski's defense got exposed at third base making two critical errors on sacrifice bunts.  A close game got out of hand late in Union's favor. 

Yeah, Union played Bard and had three hits in each of their two games.  Boy, they really beefed up their batting avg. in those affairs.

I still can't get over the fact RPI can't make this conference tourney.  They really have dropped off some in the past couple of years.  I really thought RIT would back up, they drew well early.  My original picks were Union, RPI, Clarkson and St. Law.  Then, after the ole Jackets got hot, we made a slight adjustment.  St. Law really got hosed.  They didn't play Bard or Skidmore.  That's the team that has the best argument for being in and isn't.  That's what an unbalanced schedule will do and hey, they saved on mileage LOL.  I can't remember for the life of me the last time a conference team shut out it's opponents in four straight games...Clarkson did that at Skidmore this weekend. They outscored Skidmore 31-0...on the road!  I really like the winner of the CU,UR game to come out of the LL.  Nothing against Union, and, I am VERY worried of Rochester's past failures in the post season, but, these two teams appear the most dangerous to me.  Remember, Vassar blew out Union on day two of their series so they aren't particularly in awe of the Dutchmen. 

And Union blew out Vassar on day one of their series.  These two teams really haven't had a fair matchup yet.  Union threw their #1 and #2 on day one while Vassar threw their #3 and #4.  Vassar threw their  #1 and #2 on day two and Union threw their #3 and #4 so I wouldn't draw too much out of the prior results of their matchup.
