D3 baseball is like the boys club, once you are in it you need to really suck to get out.

I agree, and you need to be good for real long time to get in it. Although the regional selection process is better. They are doing a better job of sticking to the criteria. Whether that criteria is correct or fair is a whole other matter.
First pitch in 15 minutes....and the Mid Atlantic has already tweeted a delay - looking at 330 start!
Today forecast looks better then tomorrow. It could be a long weekend.
Taking the Mid Atlantics on the road.
Arcadia vs Union (scheduled for 430 in York) has been relocated to Hartford CC at 330 - turf field.
Wow.

Bold move. Been there many times. You can play in pouring rain if you choose to. Great juco facility.
Are they staying there for the whole thing, or taking it day by day?
New York is going as scheduled. A little delayed because of game lengths. Weather's nice today. Amherst/Southern Maine in half an hour.
Heartbreaking loss for Amherst. Avoidable throwing error led to winning run in bottom of 8th. Son is taking it pretty well. He had a decent game. Started in center, 1/4, single started Amherst's 2 run rally that put them ahead. Will know their opponent later tonight. No one is really standing out yet in the regional.
I hate it when a play like that decides a game. Welp, it's not for nothing that they don't want to rent cars to kids until they are 25yo, even if they go to a school like Amherst. Good luck in the next one!
BTW... YUGE upset win for Willamette today out West over #1 seed Chapman. Congrats to the Bearcats!
congrats Bearcats!

Day by day right now; scheduled back at York tomorrow but we will see.
West region all the lower seeds won in the first round. Including the Willamette bearcats. I got a dog in that race. Tomorrow the 1 and 2 seeds play each other in the losers bracket, so one team will be eliminated. All our games started on time but each ran late. One went 10 innings the others had lots of action. The late game was supposed to start at 6 on original schedule, it just finished at 11 pm.
Back to SOS, most of the teams hosted Swarthmore this year. It was the first time in s while that Willamette had an east coast team play here. It was a tough trip for Swat but it worked out well for them, Swat won their conference. Guess you gotta make things happen with that schedule
Played Swarthmore twice this, they are solid team. I wasn't surprised at all to see them win game one.
Surprised that Swarthmore is doing so well. Good for them...not exactly a baseball factory, there.
And now they've won Game 2, beating Cortland 2-1. That region is bananas: 6 of the 7 games so far have been low-scoring one-run games. Two of those have gone into extras.
Amherst, sadly for me, is out, losing 2-1 to St. Joseph's Long Island, which got an amazing pitching performance. Amherst's was good, too, but St. J's was even better.
And out West, Willamette is surprising people!

Thanks for the update both schools are somewhat local to me. Shame your kid's season ended, it looked like a great game.
My boy’s team was eliminated at the New York Regional today. Particularly tough on him because he was knocked out with an injury after winning Game 1. He had started every game this season. Heartbreaking to watch.
Saw some excellent pitching here over the 3 days. Lots of close games. The bats just never caught fire for our guys.
Very emotional scene after the game for all the seniors and their teammates who will miss them dearly.
Congrats on them making it that far, and I hope your boy heals quickly.
