I think the LL tournament is set up to be a great one, as long as the weather holds up.  Union and Vassar is always a good matchup and the Clarkson/Rochester series is anyone's game. 

I can't get over how Union/Vassar have come through to be forces in this league.  Both coaching staffs have done an outstanding job getting those programs back to a competitive level.  Vassar especially, has a very difficult recruiting scheme there and they have brought in some terrific players.  Coach Martin is a great coach and has worked very hard to get that program where it is.  Coach Mound has done the same at Union.  Great job all around.

Now, I'm only going to pick winners on the first day.  I pick the two underdogs.  Vassar wins a close game with one of those two freshmen on the mound and Clarkson wins with Jasek.  Rochester, I'm sorry to think, will go home in 2 games.  I just don't feel they are comfortable playing do-or-die baseball.  My tournament pick to win the title is Clarkson, with what they have gone through this year.

Anyone else?
