America East Softball Tournament Begins
The America East Softball Championship tournament got underway today (Wednesday) at the Bearcats Sports Complex in Vestal. In the opening game Stony Brook defeated UMBC 3-1. That puts the Seawolves into tomorrow's 11:00 AM game against the number one seed Binghamton Bearcats. Binghamton got a bye today. In the regular season the Bearcats took all three games played against Stony Brook in a series played at Binghamton. Should the Bearcats win their first game they would advance to another 11:00 AM game on Friday.
In other action today Albany defeated the Hartford Hawks 7-1. In the third game of the day UMBC topped Hartford 4-0. The loss makes Hartford the first team eliminated in the tourney.
Besides the Binghamton versus Stony Brook game tomorrow morning other contests include Albany facing Maine at 1:30 PM followed by UMBC matching up against an opponent to be named.
