======================================

When the Tri-City ValleyCats open tomorrow at Windy City, pitcher Arlo Marynczyk (Siena/Bethlehem) will be on the 24 man roster. He'll see time as a starter or a reliever, and it would be a boost for the home fans if he gets the nod to start the home opener May 17 vs. Washington.

In other 'Cats news, catcher Oscar Campos, the lone player left from the 2018 NY-Penn League championship team, is back for another go-round with the team. The 'Cats can use Campos' experience to help their pitching staff.

=======================================

RPI will be hosting a Liberty League baseball doubleheader this afternoon. The homestanding Engineers will take the field first at 1 pm vs. Rochester, while Union and Ithaca will square off at approximately 4 pm. RPI softball is also home for a tournament game this afternoon at 12:30 vs. an opponent to be determined based on the winner of a game between St. Lawrence and RIT.
