Jaspers Sparkle Again:

Manhattan College is the MAAC Baseball Champion, again.

The Jaspers finished off a remarkable run with a 3-2 victory over Canisius (33-27) in 11 innings at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy. Manhattan juniors Joe Rock of Carmel and Kennedy Catholic, Ramon Ortega  of Miami, FL, Brendan Slattery of Danbury, CT, and Nick Camastro of Lagrangeville were named to the MAAC all-Tournament Team.

The Jaspers (33-25) earned their fourth berth into the NCAA Tournament in program history.

 

Mortarboard musings

Edwards and head coach Jim Crowley led the Bonnies to a program-best 31 victories. Sparked by junior guard Alaina Walker of Pomona, an alumna of Albertus Magnus, the Bonnies advanced to the Sweet 16 before being eliminated.
  • Pitcher Chris Rubio was placed on the disabled list by the Rockland Boulders of the Can-Am League, retroactive to May 23. The Boulders, who were visiting the New Jersey Jackals for a game at 11:05 a.m. today, added outfielder Chris Valencia, a 2005 draft pick of the Yankees, to the 22-man active roster. The Boulders and Jackals meet again on Thursday night at 7:05 before Rockland returns home Friday night for a scheduled three-game weekend series against the Quebec Les Capitales at Provident Bank Park in Pomona.
  • The Manhattan College baseball team worked out on Tuesday before departing for the NCAA Tournament, traveling to the Columbia Regional to face 2011 national champion South Carolina (40-17) on Friday at 4 p.m. The game, in Columbia, SC, will be televised on ESPNU.
