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


TPK

One of the guys who could do that, Andy Gardner, isn't in the line-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...

Word

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

Easy pudge27, lets not get ahead of ourselves now!!

Cortland two outs away from heading home.

6-2 Farmingdale State, top 9

EDIT: 6-4, still one out.

RBI triple from Steve Nickel, RBI double by Jason Simone. Farmingdale brings in its' number one starter out of the bullpen.

GAME OVER

Farmingdale 6 Cortland 4 - FINAL

Cortland is eliminated. The final three are RPI, Clarkson and Farmingdale. WOW!

[scuba16]

John.....

I know that Cortland has had their moments this season, as has RPI and Clarkson, but is Farmingdale that good, or should I say capable of going to Appleton?

I don't understand the 6 team format at all.  RPI is 2 - 0.. Clarkson and Farmingdale are both 2 - 1..  I would think Clarkson and Farmingdale should be playing eachother to eliminate one of them but then that wouldn't make much sense either since RPI has only played two games.  So why does Clarkson play RPI and not Farmingdale now?  6 team regional is whacky.. Seems itd almost be better if there were 8 team and 4 team regionals..  Although that makes its pretty easy on teams in the 4 team regions.  Not sure I know the best way to solve this but this is weird.

Well at least you are calling them Farmingdale now instead of ChipNdale! - so they are starting to get a little respect.

Sorry lordcharles, but I never called Farmingdale "ChipnDale."  That was someone else.  I would never dis a school by making up cute names for them.

Sorry, I was misunderstood, I shouldnt have said "you"- I should have said "folks are starting to call them Farmingdale".  No offense meant. 

team has been getting stonger as travel  baseball in general is getting better on LI and most of their team is LI locals.  I know a few kids that my son played travel against that are going there next year and they are pretty good ball players.

My apologies for the misspeak Boomer!

[John McGraw]

A big positive IMO for Farmingdale is that Keith Osik is the head coach. Not many teams can say they have a former Major League player as their skipper.

And before anyone says it, yes I know about Scott Brosius at Linfield.

Long Island in general has some of the best high school baseball in the state.  In fact, it couldbe argued it has the best in the state given its population density.  Plenty of good ball players come out of LI.  We don't see many of them in the rest of the state because most of them head toward the mid-atlantic to play in college.  Difficult to get players to migrate to worse weather to play college ball and LI is generally milder than the rest of the state.

this 6 team tournament was set up as ass backwards as I have ever seen. seeds 1 and 2 should have gotten 1st round byes and then the rest of the tournament shapes up just like an 8 or 4 teamer. I cant follow who is playing who, why they are playing etc.. Clarkson beats cortland in the first round and then plays a team that lost?? so confused. can anyone explain or does anyone have a bracket to look at?

[John McGraw]

Bottom 3
Clarkson 6 RPI 1

If RPI wins, it will play Farmingdale State in the championship round. If Clarkson wins, RPI must play Farmingdale State for the right to move on the title game - I think.

[John McGraw]

Bottom 4
Clarkson 9 RPI 5

Last one to score wins.
