THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (March 13, 2013) – The Maritime baseball club will be facing off against the Lehman Lightning for the first time this year today at 7 p.m. at Reinhart Field. The Lightning and the Privateers were scheduled to play a week ago, but that game was cancelled due to the inclement weather. Maritime will be looking to get back to winning ways after being swept in back-to-back doubleheaders by D'Youville and St. Joseph's over the last two weekends.
