Based on the Lakers playing Cortland tooth and nail in their series,  I agree with your assessment that they should be 2, although the Jackets had the Corts on the ropes late in their only matchup only to collapse in the last inning. Had another scheduled but it looks like the Corts don't want to get it on  as it has no benefit to them. They are in regardless of the tournament and a loss to Rochester could damage the at large bid.  After watching Ithaca and Fisher not get at large bids last year, I think both the Lakers and Jackets need to win their tourney unless they both go on an unconscious run to close out.

Crunch Time in the Liberty league!

Rochester currently in the drivers seat at 11-1 with Vassar up this weekend. Stacked 1 through 9 with power numbers that are formidable, they have taken advantage of what turned out to be a favorable draw. They also have quality wins against Emory, Ithaca twice, and nearly knocked off Cortland but for a late game collapse. They finish against Clarkson and Union which may have host site ramifications.

RPI at 13-3 has a tough road in with Clarkson and RIT. Split em up and they are probably  in.   Impressive stat lines but also took care of business with a favorable  schedule. Not many wins outside of LL.

Clarkson 8-2 (14-3) getting some love in the polls looks to be a tough opponent. Key series this weekend against RPI followed by a visit to Rochester. Not sure of the quality of the Fla wins but taking 3 from Union and splitting RIT no easy feat.

RIT 7-2 took three from SLU and Vassar with Skidmore and Union up next. Win those 2 series and they should be in. If they stumble,  a final series against RPI looms large.

Union 7-5 took it on the chin in the early part of the schedule with RPI and Clarkson but did get four from Bard.  Need to take this weekends series from SLU as they have to finish up with RIT and Rochester with a DH penciled in midweek with Skidmore. Very dangerous...they will be right in the thick of this.
