I am a Rochester community member and I attended the RIT vs. Ithaca series. I just wanted to say that RIT is not a bad baseball team. They did give Ithaca a run for their money (minus the last game where costly errors killed them early). RIT won the 1st and 3rd games, and were leading the 2nd game until a huge Ithaca inning.
If they had played only the first 3 games rather than 4, RIT would have taken it 2 of 3 (in this series -- Ithaca won games 2 and 4).
I believe a 4 game series is great for the Empire 8 conference. It really shows the true depth of a team rather than relying on them throwing a 1 and 2 guy all the time.
Also, in RIT's defense, they have won a against Pomona-Pitzer, Wartburg, 2 vs Brockport, 2 vs Ithaca, and 2 vs St. Lawrence. However they did lose 3 of 4 to Fisher, and 2 to Rochester. (looking at their schedule)
