Notebook
*Yesterday became the second day in a row where an entire schedule was lost to the rain. No games were started and all five will be made up as doubleheaders later in the season. Overall, 11 games have been impacted by postponements or suspensions through the first three days of the season. We’re looking at several doubleheaders for just about every team right now.

*We’re three days into the season and neither Amsterdam nor Albany has played an official completed league game. The Mohawks and Dutchmen were suspended on Wednesday night in the bottom of the eighth inning due to a localized power outage in downtown Albany. That game will be finished in a few weeks on June 20 as part of a non-traditional doubleheader. Albany was then rained out on Thursday and Friday nights. Amsterdam took part in another suspended game on Thursday night at home against Utica. The rains washed away a game between Amsterdam and Utica that was in the top of the second inning with Utica leading by a score of 2-0. The game will not be completed until the end of July, Utica’s next scheduled road trip to Amsterdam. The Mohawks were then rained out last night on the road. That’s two suspended games in three days for the defending champions.

*Also one quick note, congratulations to four PGCBL players on being named to the NJCAA Division I and II All-America teams earlier this week. Wabash Valley’s Cole Gleason (Watertown 2012) and Miami-Dade’s Omar Garcia (Oneonta 2012) were both second team NJCAA Division I All-Americans. LSU Eunice’s Casey Rodrigue (Glens Falls 2012) and Black Hawk’s Cody Smith (Cooperstown 2013) were both named second team NJCAA Division II All-Americans. A full list of All-Americans from this season can be found in today’s game notes.

*With not much else to discuss from on-field action, let’s look at geography.
