Not sure why they call a 3 game series tie breaker a 'rubber' game, but series is tied 1-1 after RU's win last night.

"The sporting term "rubber match" refers to the final and deciding game in any series and traces its origins back to the 16th century English game of lawn bowling. Somewhat similar to bocce ball, the object of lawn bowling is to roll wooden balls across a flat field toward a smaller white ball so they stop as close as possible to the smaller ball without hitting it. Most experts agree that the term refers either to two balls rubbing together, a game-losing mistake or to the final game's potential to "rub out" or erase the losing team."

I'm really surprised they don't get Trojan to sponsor these games.

LOL, good one Spank ! RU lost a tight 3-2 game. Hey on Friday April 22, our Baseball team plays Penn St home at 3pm and our Mens Lacrosse team plays Penn St at 8pm. Good doubleheader.

So baseball is now 5-7. 1-5 vs Top 20, 4-2 vs the rest?
