Rochester John Marshall High School Athletics

This week in baseball (overdue).

Patriots

The Patriots are currently in the middle of the pack with a game at Byron today, and league games across the district both today and tomorrow that could impact standings.  As it looks the Patriots would host a game Sunday night at 5pm at John Adams.  If we maintain the 6th seed (A's play Lourdes so likely one ahead of us and one behind us) and host Sunday, the first round of playoffs is single elimination. Following Sunday, 8 teams advance to a double elimination tournament starting Tuesday and completing Thursday-Sunday.
