In the spirit of full disclosure, the Ithaca v Cortland game at the time of this post is scoreless in the 3rd inning.

My picks for the day

Cortland over Ithaca --> #2 goes home

RPI rips into WNEC and sends daBears into a spin
Clarkson takes out the Chip'nDales

Hope I'm wrong like yesterday

Word 8)

Game 1 goes to Cortland 3-2 after they score 2 with 2 out in bottom of the eighth. Lets hope Word matches yesterday's total and get only 1 right today.

Two days in a row Word has gone straight chalk..must have been a teacher at some point. I always like to erase the chalk and give my teacher's fits. Lets hope the Bears can play eraser for the second day in a row.

The host team ChipnDale live to dance another day as they crush Clarkson 19-10. Five out of 6 will play tomorrow. Word is back on a losing streak with his predictions, lets hope it continues in the next game!

When you look at the set up of a 6 team tourney with 5 left after the second day, this next game is huge.
The winner plays one game tomorrow and win or lose will be playing on Saturday for the trip to cheese land. The loser must win 2 games tomorrow to get to Saturday.

Looks like B.J. Thomas has made his way to Long Island. Just got text message that game is postponed tonight. On for noon tomorrow. Go Bears!

wordsmith · May 14, 2009, 08:35:29 PM

same here just got the call bag it and tag it!

Noon tomorrow loser plays at 3:30
Winner???

I am currently enjoying the LEC broadcast of Marcell Marso.

Where is the sound?

Winner will play at noon on Saturday. Bracket on regional site shows final game now on Sunday if necessary. There will be three tomorrow, 2 Saturday and 1 on Sunday. I wonder why they don't change it so the loser of WNEC/RPI gets a little rest rather than have to come right back out in the next came. They could play Cortland and Farmindale at 3:30 and Clarkson vs WNEC/RPI loser at 7. Just my thoughts.

rbgosfan · May 15, 2009, 02:46:31 PM

First game of the day is in the books. RPI takes down WNEC in a good pitcher's duel 3-1. The Bears now have the tough road to hoe getting ready for a 3:30 matchup with Clarkson. They will have to win that one, beat RPI tomorrow and then win again on Sunday to win the region.

wordsmith · May 15, 2009, 03:11:01 PM

rbgosfan,

2 strikeouts on the day for the WNEC Staff
3 errors
2 HBP with runners on base

Makes it tough to win in tournament play.

Hope for better things this PM

Word $:-\$

rbgosfan · May 15, 2009, 03:32:22 PM

Word,
One of the HBP came with bases loaded and forced in a run. WNEC had a run taken off the board in bottom 6 when long shot to center was run down by Wilkes with bases loaded and 1 out. Runner on first passed the runner on second for third out which negated runner from 3rd who had tagged up and scored. Would have been 3-2 with 2 on and 2 out. Mental mistakes like that can not be made during tournament time.

I would guess DiTomasso goes in next game while Clarkson brings back their number 1 who was suspended for first 2 games of regional because of an incident in their league tournament.

Lets hope the bats wake up!

And so it goes...

WNEC heads to the house and I am here to say goodbye and good luck to all the teams left in the NY Region.

Peace my brothers...

Anti-Ithaca sentiments AND a Motley Crue link...........I'll be pulling for WNEC to come back to the NY region next year.

John McGraw · May 15, 2009, 08:43:39 PM

Wow.

Farmingdale State 4 Cortland State 2
Bottom 7

Cortland has mustered just four hits against Stephen King. Yikes. Cortland has 1-2-3 in six of seven at-bats.

Farmingdale threatening in the bottom of the seventh and has knocked Mike Mahay out of the game.

scuba16 · May 15, 2009, 09:04:20 PM

4-2 Farmingdale bottom 7. Looks like we need a 2 run bomb to knot things up!
