Good job by Joe Brown's grounds crew this week so far.  Players not on Cortland's travel roster.

Always unsung heroes of regional play. Some places have workstudy kids doing the job, others situations like this...but it's always a key part of having a good regional is having a good grounds crew and equipment to tend to the field.

Only time they get noticed is when a fielder gets a bad hop or the pitcher complains about the mound.

Good to see the NY region teams knock out the visitors from Mitchell and Ramapo.  I know that Mitchell certainly does not belong with these types of teams, but, it is always nice to see the NY teams knock out the shippers.  I can see Brockport and Clarkson giving someone a real tough time tomorrow.

Kris Gentzke hits a 2 run homer for Cortland and now leads 7-3
