This weekend was the SUNYAC tournament. The only time Cortland has lost it, as far as i know, was in 2004. Well, history did repeat itself this year with us not taking the title. We were the number one seed in the tournament because we were regular season champions. We faced Oneonta for the first game and they had their pitcher who is projected to be drafted in the top 5 rounds in this upcoming MLB draft pitch against us. Well he proved himself and lived up to the hype. He absolutely dominated the game. He was throwing his fastball at 92-94 mph for strikes with a absolutely devastating curveball. He held us to one run through nine innings with ten strikeouts. In two games, he has 24 strikeouts. Its frustrating because of that one loss the rest of the tournament we were in the losers bracket. We still had a shot at winning but the weather was not allowing it. The conditions brought in snow and was not allowing us to play. The rest of the games were called and the team that hadnt lost yet was Brockport. They hadnt receieved a loss because they did not have to face the overall #1 prospect in Division 3 baseball. All in all, it doesnt really matter because were still going to regionals with an at large bid and its going to be fun. Our energy is kicking in and we have alot of intensity built up because of how we were dealt with at the SUNYAC tournament. World Series, here we come!

  1. Thats disappointing that the tournament ended that way. It doesnt seem fair unless they finish out the entire tournament not the team that is winning at the time it rains. The fact that you lost to the teams one great pitcher is unlucky, especially if you were better than the other team.

  2. That rough that you lost in the first round. Especially when you have such a good team. Also a pitcher like that is hard to prepare for but since your still in regionals you still have a shot to make the most of the season. Good luck.

  3. The pitcher seems like he was amazing if he is going to the MLB so at least you guys tried your hardest! Congrats on still being in regionals thats pretty big! I am sure you can't wait for summer to be here though thats going to stink staying here when everyone is gone! Good luck!!
