[FU73]

Marist 1-0 at the Bottom of the Second.

Marist with 5 hits so far off Stag pitching.

[FU73]

Marist 6-2 at the Bottom of the Fifth.

Marist with 3 runs in the inning and Stags with 2 errors and only 4 hits so far.

A Stag loss would have them play again tonight at 8:30 pm.

[FU73]

Marist 6-5 starting the Top of the Sixth

Stags score 3 runs in the bottom of the Fifth but leave men on second and third with 2 outs.

We score to get within 7-6, and #1 reliever gives up 4 in the 8th. Now down 11-6 B8. Pitching and defense have been awful.

Will need to win tonight, and beat Marist twice tomorrow. Will not be easy

[stagmaster]

We really had to have thiis one today. Not good that we let it slip away.

[ctbobs]

Lose 11-8.

Play winner of next game (Canisius vs Iona) later tonight. Played neither in regular season, beat Iona 12-1 Wednesday.

Canisius Iona not starting until 6:00; Stags probably won't begin until about 9:30. Whoever wins that game will have it tough, possibly playing dh at noon.

Edit:: Change in schedule - Stags play Iona 12:00 tomorrow, winner plays Marist right after. I assume "if" game would be on Sunday, but they haven't announced that yet.

The delays should help the Stags pitching; Boniauto went 2 2/3s with 86 pitches today, could be available a little tomorrow, definitely Sunday. Signore would be available Sunday after throwing 7+ on Wednesday.
