A disappointed Cortland coach Joe Brown reacts to Wednesday loss to Oswego. Twas first RDragons setback to unranked foe and comes at the hands of Laker skipper Scott Landers, onetime ace CSt pitcher:

"It's beyond comprehension how we were not excited to play on our field on a nice day, because we've played in some tough conditions, and then execute so poorly. Sure you could probably say we've won nine in a row and we've done this
and we've done that, but that's the point. You don't do that. Good teams don't do that, so it's a bad
performance."

The Cortland jinx strikes again. Plattsburgh just can't get a break against the Red Dragons. I'm beginning to think a 10 run lead heading into the bottom of the 9th wouldn't be enough. Coach Doorey must be pulling his hair out over this latest loss.

note to jdex: I'm working on that address you requested for a former Cortland coach. Hope to have it shortly. If not I will see coach K on May 4th at a basketball banquet and get it then. Plus k for all the baseball updates. I go here and check before I hit the YAC website cause you're so good.

Don't know if Prendergast was penciled in to face Cortland on Tuesday before rain made IC's Freeman sod unplayable. Doubt it. Don't believe Joe Brown would have M. Palumbo, B. Serio or B. McClain -- his three frontliners -- in action. All worked last Friday/Saturday as did Prendergast. IC mound corps might be deeper than CSt's, or at least that's the way it appears to have played out this season. RDragons shaky when reaching in the 'pen. Also think Cortland with more offense than Bombers. May not get together now till NY Regional ...... speaking of which ..........Fran, where might that site be now that Auburn's apparently out of the picture. Gotta believe something's already set.
