Beat writers
They cover the Crush and the wider summer collegiate schedule, then file recaps with box-score context so the numbers line up with what you saw from the stands.
What each specialist actually covers on a game night
Every role here has a defined beat, so you know who filed the recap, who counted the pitches and who walked the infield after the rain. Backgrounds are local: youth coaches, parents, former players and people who have sat in the same bleacher row for years.
Corrections, tips and photo requests go to the person on the beat, not a general inbox. Start with the contact page if you are not sure which role fits, or read a recent series recap to see the format we work in.
Scorebook keepers
Pitch counts, innings and fielding lines get tracked by hand, then cross-checked against league postings before anything goes up. If a line looks wrong, they want to hear it.
Youth and high school contributors
Recruitment notes and alumni movement from Cortland County programs, written by coaches and parents who follow those rosters week to week.
Photo contributors
Action frames shot from the bleachers and behind the backstop. They know the light at each diamond, which matters more than gear when first pitch is at dusk.
Field-condition reporters
They check diamonds before first pitch and again after rain, then post what the infield and outfield actually look like. That is the difference between a wasted drive and a rescheduled evening.
