Tremendous series with Navy this year. The 2 best PL teams went head to head and it came down to 1 run right at the end.
30 wins on the season is a small consolation for HC.

Trying to look at this objectively and get beyond the bunt/no bunt concerns.
Navy was the regular season champ and Holy Cross was seeded #2.
They play a 3 game series down at Navy, certainly the highest seed should get home field advantage. I don't buy this that the lower seeded team is the "home team" when you are playing on the other guy's field. All that means is you have a different color uniform and you bat last one game.
Be that as it may, the two best PL teams played.
Game 1: The #1 seed, Navy wins by one run in extra innings after a walk-off home run. Game 2: The #2 seed, Holy Cross, wins by one run, 3-2, forcing the final game. Game 3: The #1 seed, Navy, wins by one run in the 9th inning.
Three games and we lose to the regular season champs by a total of 1 run difference and it took extra innings for them to do that.
To my mind, the glass is half full.
Congratulations to the Crusader baseball team. They played well.

28 innings, and one run separated the two teams.
Composite box score Navy 5 - 22 -2 HC 4 - 17 -1 ________________________
In looking at rosters and season stats, Navy loses its two best pitchers. HC loses one pitcher who pitched approximately 25 innings.

we were last in team batting ave. in the league and it was exposed vs.navy. 30 win seasons are like 20 win seasons in basketball. a nice accomplishment but short of the ultimate goal for us. 57 games played has to be a record. that's a lot of baseball in 3 months ! our junior class is absolutely loaded, so next year will be an opportunity for this team to win a league title

Great job by the Crusaders this season......to finish with an outstanding effort in the 3 game series vs. Navy has to be noteworthy ! Excellent baseball played by both teams brings the PL season to a close. The NCAA tournament is getting closer......

For those who want to fire the baseball coach, beware of what you wish for. Aside from his sac bunt blind spot, he is doing a great job at HC with minimalist financial support. Methinks his youth baseball job is alerting him to under the radar kids. I saw a lot of baseball this year, with another chucker or two, a slick fielding middle infielder and a hard hitting OF/3B/DH we’d have dominated the liga. A winning baseball record on the heels of 26 years of NCAA futility is worthy of a parade. FWIW we play a week next spring in southern California at University of $poiled Children (USC), Northridge State and one other school. We also have scheduled Auburn.
