Alma stays alive in the Adrian regional, eliminating Ohio Northern 10-6 (ONU, 3 home runs, Alma--"no long ball?? No problem, we'll just repeatedly go up the middle and find alley gaps"--Scots scored 5 runs in each of their last 2 at bats)

Some finals (as yesterday, this will be constantly updated throughout the day as games go final):
Completed from yesterday, Salisbury defeats Shenandoah 4-0, Cortland eliminates Montclair with a 4-3 win, also completed from yesterday, Alma comes back to defeat Ohio Northern 10-6, and RIC rallies past Endicott 4-3.  Finally, from yesterday's late game at Tyler, C-MS knocked out the defending champs east Texas Baptist with a 6-1 win, there will be a new champion this year.  We finally have a winner in Ithaca as SJF gets a 3 run homer and a solo homer back to back in the 14th to defeat Middlebury 9-5.  Ithaca vs. West Conn should start around 1:45 or 1:50, gonna be a long day up there tonight, and Rowan eliminates the top seed in Salisbury with a 6-5 win over Emory.  Linfield shuts out Wash 17-0 (final 5 innings), and Redlands defeats Miss College 7-4.  Coast Guard eliminates Worcester state 4-1, they'll play RIC starting around 4:20 depending on when the Eastern/St. Joes game ends, which is scheduled to start at 2:25.
River Falls eliminates la Crosse with a 5-4 win, Moravian over Piedmont 6-5, trine eliminates baldwin-Wallace 6-5, Shenandoah eliminates kean with a 6-1 win.
Coe walks off against Central 2-1, Ithaca eliminates West Conn, shuts them out 9-0, Eastern advances to tomorrow's championship with a 5-1 win over St. Joes.
Tyler over la College 6-4, Ripon eliminates St. Scholastica with a 3-2 win, Depauw shuts out Hiram 8-0 in 5 innings
Piedmont eliminates King's with a 5-1 win, Messiah shuts out Keuka 8-0 in 5 innings Keuka commited 6 errors which obviously didn't help their cause.  This is why you want to advance in the winners bracket because unlike the first 2 teams that lost at Ithaca today, keuka has another game left.

Linfield up 13-0 on Washington-MO,(Pella) Redlands up 7-0 on Mississippi College in the 4th (UT-Tyler)

[7express]

Middlebury SJF 5-5 all top 13.  I'm gonna go grab some lunch before West Conn/Ithaca hit the field because this Mid/SJF game could last a while longer.  Worcester state up 1-0 top 2 on Coast Guard.

[WLCALUM83]

Salisbury Regional Final:  A late rally by Emory falls short, Rowan eliminates the Eagles 6-5

Adrian Regional:  Trine up 5-0 on Baldwin-Wallace in the 5th

UT-Tyler Regional:  Redlands stays alive by beating Mississippi College 7-4

West Conn vs. Ithaca.  Ithaca had a tough loss at home yesterday to Keuka 7-1 to fall into the losers bracket.  Western set NCAA records yesterday with 9 team doubles, and 10 doubles total between the 2 teams in a 20-5 pounding of Muhlenberg.  For once, Western is the home team, so we'll get last ups if need be.  Mag dargon will throw again for the Colonials, Allison Greany for Ithaca.
Ithaca 1 West Conn 0 bot 1st.  Ithaca had 3 hits in the first inning, and combined with an Amy hartman throwing error, Ithaca gets the games first run.  Hopefully we didn't use up all the offense in yesterday's rout.
Ithaca 3 West Conn 0 top 2nd.  Allison greany double scores Mary O'Donnell, and Greany scores on a fielding error by Samantha Avery.
Ithaca 5 West Conn 0  bottom 3rd.  Allison greany 2 rbi double gives Ithaca a 5-0 lead.
Ithaca 9 West Conn 0 top 4.  Amy Hartman's error would've ended the inning, instead Ithaca had the bases loaded and Kerry Barger's single gives the hosts a 6-0 lead, and that was followed by Molly O'Donnell's single which brought in 2 more.  Allison Greany gets her 4th RBI of the game as the Ithaca lead balloons to 9, and that will end the day for Mag as Stephanie Moss comes in.  After 15 innings Molly Rathburn gave up a hit to lead of the 3rd in Providence.
Ithaca 9 West Conn 0, Final.  Wasn't meant to be.  Scored 20 runs in the tournament, but got them all in 1 game, would've been nice to have a few today and Thursday.  Mag will be a senior next year, and Stephanie Moss a sophmore, so we still have our 2 best pitchers comming back next year.  Ithaca goes onto face St. John Fisher around 6:00.

Also going on at the same time is Eastern vs. St. Joes.  As the 6th seed, St. Joes upset the 3rd seeded Endicott college on Thursday, then beat the 2 seed Coast Guard yesterday.  Eastern hasn't been threatened in this tournament so far as eastern's ace Molly Rathburn has tossed 2 straight no hitters.  She'll be on the mound again this afternoon, so we'll see if the Monks can get a hit.  Eastern is the home team.  Madylan Kluna pitching for St. Joseph's
Eastern 0 St. Joes 0 top 1st.  Game scheduled to begin at 2:25.
St. Joes 0 Eastern 3 bottom 1st.  Megan Godwin single, advanced to second on a Priscilla Alicea sacrifice, and scored when Molly Rathburn reached on an error.  Rachel Soychak single scores Rathburn and Arielle Cooper.  Rathburn k'd the side in the first.  St. Joes has 6 outs, all by strikeout.  Only ball they've put in play was an error.
St. Joes 0 eastern 4 bot 2nd.  Rosie Manzo single scores jen Tamindjiza.  I think Eastern's already sewn this up.
St. Joes 1 Eastern 4 top 3rd.  After 15 hitless innings Molly rathburn gives up a leadoff single, and that run comes around on a double later in the inning.
St. Joes 1 Eastern 5 bot 6.  Arielle Cooper home run gives the Warriors a 5-1 advantage.
St. Joes 1 Eastern 5 final.  Rathburn finished with 1 walk, 5 hits, 9 k's in 7 innings.  Eastern advances onto the championship tomorrow where they'll face either RIC/St. Joes or Coast Guard.  That game will be slated for approximately 2:15 tomorrow afternoon.

Coast Guard 0 RIC 0 top 1.  Game should be starting shortly.
Coast Guard 1 RIC 0 top 1.  Devin fellman scores on an error by Christina Bailey.
Coast Guard 1 RIC 1 bot 4.  Christina Bailey double scores Chelsi Panarelli.
