Only two days left to vote in our poll, which one can find above right. Lansingburgh is well ahead at this point, and at 10-0 overall, I can see why. However, Troy has appeared in the final game six straight years and it looks like their bats are beginning to come around.
Look for a story on Lansingburgh's strong team defense in Wednesday's Record and feel free to leave any comments on the Uncle Sam tourney here.

Lansingburgh plays Catholic Central in the opening round and Troy takes on Tamarac. This Saturday, the first round starts at 4:45 pm at Knickerbacker Park in Lansingburgh. Consolation and championship games are set to follow at 7:15 pm.

Courtney Brinkman led the Flying Horses to three straight Uncle Sam Tournament championships, but now pitches at Siena College. (Tom Killups - The Record)

Don't count out Tamarac and Catholic Central, though. The Crusaders (Nikki Hedrick) and the Bengals (Meg Fitzgerald) have great pitchers and if they come in throwing hard and the bats can put a few across the plate, either of these teams can wind up in the final and even walk away with the title.
