Did Con-Val play Souhegan yesterday?
Also, is Oyster River playing 2 makeup games in the next 2 days (Bedford & Hanover)?

Bedford defeated Oyster River Saturday 13-0, Oyster River plays Hanover away Sunday. Big game for alot of teams to move in the seeding. If OR loses they would have dropped from the 6th seed to 15th this week. Last four games were Portsmouth, St. Thomas, Bedford, and Hanover. (nice scheduling job there)
I heard the Con-Val at Souhegan game was moved to today, (saturday). Souhegan needs a win today and win tomorrow, (sunday) at Kingswood to secure a spot in the tournament. Lose one and they are out.
Coe-Brown is at Sanborn, winner moves on, loser gets pushed out if Souhegan wins last two games, that makes for an exciting game.

What about Plymouth & Merrimack Valley? Are they playing their makeup game today or tomorrow?
The game was removed from both teams schedule:
The game was played, Merrimack won by one run in the 11th inning. Problem was both starters pitched the WHOLE game. NHIAA rules state 15 innings a week, no more than 9 innings in one day, so both coaches make a mistake. The NHIAA just removed the game like it wasn't played. IMO both teams should have received forfeit, instead there was really no penatly.

NHIAA shows that Oyster River beat Hanover 4-3. Mistake or not? You said they ar playing on Sunday.
Souhegan beat Conval on Friday 8-3. They play Kingswood Sunday. They sit at 16 right now with a 7-8 record. If they lose, they are tied, at least record-wise with Kingswood at 7-9. With the point system, I don't know who would grab the last playoff spot. Clearly if they win...they are in.
Correct. Souhegan did beat ConVal 8-3 Friday. Bedford beat Oyster River 13-0 this morning and then Oyster River went to Hanover and beat Hanover 4-3 today. Coe Brown beat Sanborn 5-1.
There is one game in D2 left to play. Souhegan at Kingswood Sunday. If Souhegan wins, they finish in 14th place, as Coe Brown would be awarded 13th place based on the tie breaker procedure. Coe Brown has the better record against tournament opponents. Sanborn and Kingswood would be out of the tournament.
If Souhegan loses to Kingswood Sunday, there would be a 3 way tie for the final spot between Sanborn, Kingswood, and Souhegan. I can't figure out who would get it, but I think Souhegan would be eliminated based on record against tournament teams, and either Sanborn or Kingswood would get the last spot.
But this tie breaking stuff is pretty complex, so I'm not betting my mortgage on how accurate my understanding is.

Yea, Oyster River after losing to Bedford this morning got on the bus after the game and beat Hanover at their field, pretty gutsy by them after getting blown out by Bedford.
Three way tie break goes to Sanborn if Souhegan loses to Kingswood.
Three way tie break goes to Sanborn if Souhegan loses to Kingswood.
Update:
Plymouth and Merrimack Valley are both get a lose for over use of pitcher. That will move Merrimack down in the standings.
Oyster River is also moving down, they were scheduled to play an away game, the field was not ready at the away school, so the game was played at Oyster River, O.R. won and was given credit for a away win, (5 points, instead of 4), that will move them to the tenth position and get St. Thomas.
Also Kingswood beat Souhegan and Sanborn wins three way tie break get the 16 seed and going to Portmouth.

D II bracket is now on the NHIAA web site. Sanborn wins the 3-way tiebreaker for the 16 spot. Best of luck to all teams.
