BB: LL: Liberty League

[AlleyCat]

Looks like RPI got off to a great start in the league. 4 game sweep of Clarkson who looks much better just barely losing to Rowan earlier in the week. Was anyone at the game Zongol threw to open the series? Looks like he was lights out.

What's going on with the 2 game series with St lawrence and Union. The way they set it up goes against everything the league was trying to do. Then they only play 1 because of weather.

I would think both Rochester and RPI would be ranked with how they have started the season.

The ABCA poll has Rochester receiving votes and RPI at 15th. Looks like the great starts for both of these programs is being noticed. Good for the Liberty League. Rochester taking on St Lawrence this weekend should be a good one and show if St Lawrence can push for the top spot in the league. Does anybody know how the fields are on the campuses at Rochester, St Lawrence, Clarkson?

do you have a link to the ABCA poll?

A quick note in response to the condition of the fields in Rochester - wet and mucky.  Games between UR and Brockport @ Brockport on Tuesday and Cortland @ UR today were postponed and not yet rescheduled due to wet field conditions.  Some snow flurries/showers in the forecast for Friday night, Highs in the mid 30's for the weekend, so St. Lawrence @ UR this weekend will be very cold and possibly wet if they can get them in.

Thanks for the note NYY.  I had been wondering why the CSt./UR game was postponed.  Yesterday was probably one of the 3-4 best days we've had this spring.  I've got to think that if they couldn't play yesterday, they might have a problem over the next couple of weeks.

Because of how the field sits below the hill on the rightfield side, run-off from the melting snow created a "swamp" around first base.  The team did practice on the field, but not near first base.  They did have a maintenance crew work on it during the day, but felt that with the projected rain forecast, not playing would help the field.  They felt that playing their conference games this weekend was more important, weather permitting.  I also understand that UR will try to reschedule the Brockport and Cortland games, again try.  With it being springtime and the uncertainty of the weather, who knows if that will happen.

Skidmore is playing all four of their games this weekend (2 against St. Michaels, 2 against Hamilton) on a town field in a place called Schaghticoke NY. Just a note. Anyone else wishing their kid played in the South?

[BoomerIL]

Unless the temperature gets into the sixties, with a light wind and total sunshine, I don't think Rochester is going to play tomorrow.  There is approximately 1-2 inches of snow on the ground!!

Hah yes, the south!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weather is brutal. there is 5 inches of snow in utica ny

[AlleyCat]

The weather in upstate NY is awful. Anywhere from 2-5 inches everywhere. Hopefully schools have some good grounds crews and they can the fields ready to play.  It's sure going to screw things up for everyone.

Actually, you probably don't want to come to Florida now.  The high today is about 82 and it is sunny.  Pretty hot if you ask me.

Oh wait.  Nevermind.  Think I will go catch a spring game.

Ignoring last post.    Skidmore's games against St. Michael's tomorrow have been canceled. Kid just texted me and said they got about 4 more inches last night. I don't know how, but Sunday's games are still up in the air. Pretty discouraged, hasn't played since two weeks ago in Florida. Gotta go cancel my hotel.

+k ocho.  Keep your head up.  In my experience, upstate baseball coaches are famously optimistic when it comes to weather.  They never admit a game will be cancelled in advance.  This time of year is just crazy in upstate baseball.
