RIT scored one run in four games against Ithaca on the weekend. Ithaca-Cortland this Wednesday. If gas wasn't 3.53/gallon I'd consider driving down.

John,

Where is that cheap gas located... may drive out to fill up at that price!


It is getting unbelievealbe isn't it...

John,  Thanks to the Bombers, you don't have to drive down there.  Looking at the picture that was recently on D3baseball.com, if you sit on your front porch from anywhere in North America with a decent pair of binoculars, you should be able to clearly see the numbers on the back of Ithaca's jerseys.  Problem solved.

Holy Crap.  Why even use binos?  Those are ridiculous.  +k.

Yeah, I guess they scraped the pinstripes after last season. I was a big fan of the pinstripes actually. Oh well.

Fisher won the second game, 4-3.

That's not a surprise. Fisher's a good team and could in theory find a way into the NCAA tournament again this year. Ithaca win tomorrow clinches at least a share of the league title, a sweep clinches it.

you forgot "..again." 

Who was saying IC's season outside of Cortland isn't a snoozefest?

[scuba16]

Hey viper,
I quess you could say that both Cortland's and Ithaca's season inside the NY region are a snoozefest other than playing each other!
Thank God for the spring trips, where both teams played some national level type competition!
Looks to me like the NY region is down this year at every school that is not on or in close proximity to rte 13.

[AlleyCat]

I would disagree with that.
Yeah the Empire 8 and SUNYAC is extremely weak  this year but the Liberty has a couple of good teams this year. 

Cortland and Ithaca are always good, but the statement that the rest of the NY is weak is way off base.
