Silky Johnson, I said that Doorey was selected as Coach of the Year to highlight that he was recognized by his peers as a good coach playing with the talent that he has. Your issue seems to be more with the national and regional rankings committee's. It also seems pretty suspect that you registered for this board about 2 weeks before the SUNYAC tourney. Making comments about players (namely calling out Dan Tracy and saying he was gonna lose, as well as the Doorey statue comment) and coaches is what I'm talking about with integrity of the game. Plattsburgh has been playing these teams for years, where were you? Now that they finally beat most of the teams they should beat and get a little national recognition, you call them out? The preseason trips to myrtle and florida have more to do with what teams register to play in those tourney's and the tourney's organizers set them up with who they have, teams don't necessary get to "select" what teams they play. Also, most teams don't care to travel up to Plattsburgh for non-conference games, let alone conference games. The rest of the teams like Cortland and Oneonta are in the middle of the state with shorter travel distances and better teams are more apt to play them based on that factor alone. I'm not saying that you have to like the Card's, but to come on here and take cheap shots and say they don't have to win SUNYAC's because they'll be in the national tourney anyway because Doorey is on the ncaa committee is just plain ridiculous. That being said, I hope the tourney this weekend is exciting and that all the teams involved play hard and give the fans a good show. Good Luck Cards!

Did you get cut from the Plattsburgh team or something truthfinder? Because all you've really done on this board was take shots at the Cardinals. But that's right, you just call it "exposing the truth." You sound like one of those 16 year old girls that didn't get a bmw on her sweet sixteen from mtv. As for the comment about all of Plattsburgh's other sports teams, they have been around for awhile and have built themselves up overtime. Plattsburgh restarted the program in 2002 and are still building the program up. They gain a little national recognition and you feel the need to bash them? Also, I believe the coaches in the conference named Doorey Coach of the Year twice, not anything to do with a national board, as your comments about the Cardinals getting an automatic at-large bid just because he's on the ncaa board are ridiculous. You're not only bashing Doorey, but you're bashing the Cardinals, who have put in the time over the off-season to get where they're at. The players have no control over who they play and they don't deserve being bashed over beating teams they should beat. Why don't you write to the national rankings board or the board for ranking teams in the region, in which Plattsburgh is ranked 3rd, if you have a problem with the rankings? This board is about talking about competition in the sunyac, while still keeping the integrity of the game intact. And this board has been doing a good job of that until you signed up and felt the need to bash the Card's with all your undercover work "exposing the truth." So if you don't have any other insightful comments to make about other teams in the conference or any other positive comments to make, then I don't think this board is right for you, because I think everyone can do without your negativity. 

FIERY CARDINAL ATTACK ICES BLUE DEVILS!

CORTLAND, NY- The Plattsburgh State baseball team wins its first ever game in the SUNYAC tournament under the tenure of Coach Kris Doorey! After a shaky start by freshmen pitcher Dan Tracy, fellow freshmen Matt O'Leary and Senior Matt Kelley came in relief and shut the door on Fredonia's run scoring. The Cardinals proved that they had the heart to come from behind and felt the sense of urgency in the elimination game. Down 6-4 in the 8th inning, Senior Kyle Kowalowski started the inning with a single, followed by an Andrew Gooch double. Senior Joe Curcio then doubled to score them both, tying the score 6-6. Before the inning was over, Junior Andrew Baio hit a pinch-hit double to score Erik Schwind and Matt Burns, that put the Cardinals ahead for good 8-6.

The Cardinals 15-hit attack was lead by Senior Kyle Kowalowski, 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 rbi, and Senior Joe Curcio, 2 hits, 3 rbi's. Tory Bouyea, Andrew Gooch and Matt burns also chipped in with two hits apiece.

The Blue Devils were paced by J. Borst, 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 rbi and J. Basile, 1 hit, 1 run, 2 rbi's.

(WP) Matt Kelley, (LP) R. Carlson

Next up for the Cardinals is the loser of the Cortland/Brockport game, with a scheduled start time of approx. 4 P.M. Good Luck Cardinals!!!

Tough game today for the Cardinals falling to Cortland 10-6. Considering the howling winds and the rain delay I thought they showed a lot of heart staging a comeback. Their relievers (Greene and Noonan) shut them down, as they allowed only 1 hit in 4 innings. Billy Davis had a tough time, but I'm confident that he'll be able to bounce back tomorrow if needed. It's tough when you give up big runs early but I have a lot of confidence in them tomorrow as they face Fredonia. They've seen Carlson before and they have momentum leading into that game, which could prove to be an advantage. They have a great lineup that's ready to go and I have a lot of confidence in John Campbell if that's who they decide to go with. Goodluck tomorrow Cards!!!

After losing the first game 12-3, Plattsburgh showed a lot of heart in the come from behind victory headlined by the walk-off homerun by Joe Curcio in the bottom of the 9th, his second of the day. How about seeing a combined 4 homeruns at Chip Cummings Field in a double-header (Reynolds in the first game, Shaughnessy in the second game, and 2 for Curcio in the second game)? It was a special treat for the fans and a record breaking day. A lot of credit should also be given to the game 2 starter Tyler Greene and relief pitcher Billy Davis. Davis pitched a combined 8 innnings in the doubleheader and was the winning pitcher once again in the second game (Davis won against Cortland in Game 2 at The Chipper in 2007). Good Luck to the Cardinals tomorrow vs. Oswego! They need to win atleast one game to get in the tournament, but two would put the icing on the cake. Either way they can only get the number 4 seed, so it looks like they'll match up with Cortland in the first round of the SUNYAC'S if they are able to win tomorrow! Should be exciting!

Brockport sweeps Plattsburgh
Cortland splits with Oneonta
Plattsburgh sweeps Fredonia
Oneonta sweeps Oswego
Cortland sweeps New Paltz
Cortland splits with Plattsburgh
Brockport sweeps Fredonia
Oneonta sweeps New Paltz
Plattsburgh sweeps Oswego

How it all works out is Brockport is 9-3, Cortland Oneonta Plattsburgh are 8-4.

welcome to the board! I would have to agree with most of your predictions with the exception of brockport sweeping both Plattsburgh and Fredonia. What's your rationale on this one? Certainly you are a fan of Brockport, do you really think they have to depth to beat both of these teams? Fredonia and Plattsburgh have the two highest team batting averages in the conference, as well has having better pitching numbers, especially Plattsburgh's of late.

P.S. Plattsburgh's Andrew Gooch and Matt O'Leary have been named SUNYAC player and pitcher of the week, respectively. This marks 4 total Plattsburgh players to earn these honors thus far.

So Plattsburgh wrapped up an impressive weekend going on a 4 game win streak, next up is Div. 1 UVM on wednesday, hopefully they'll use it to stay sharp and keep the wave going into the very important weekend's SUNYAC games vs. brockport and fredonia

Hello all! I just wanted to introduce myself to the board! I am a big fan of the SUNYAC and I wanted to help represent Plattsburgh, because all you hear about on this board are Cortland, Oneonta, and Brockport...Go Cards!!!
