ORONO, Maine - No. 3 Binghamton baseball (27-23) will have to wait a day to continue its championship quest after Friday's games at the Northeast Delta Dental America East Championship were postponed due to rain. The Bearcats' winners' bracket game against No. 5 UAlbany (22-30) will now be played at 11 a.m. Saturday at Mahaney Diamond. Top-seed Bryant will face the loser at 3 p.m. The championship series will be played Sunday with games at noon and 4 p.m. (if necessary). 

Binghamton is 2-0 at the tournament after wins over No. 6 UMBC (14-8) and No. 2 NJIT (15-10). Dating back to the 2022 tournament, which the Bearcats won at Maine, Binghamton has now won five straight tournament games at Mahaney Diamond. 

Junior second baseman Zack Kent and senior third baseman Devan Bade each have a grand slam and seven RBI in the two games. Kent is 5-for-10 with two home runs and a double. Freshman center fielder Matt Bolton is 5-for-9 with an RBI and four runs scored. 

The Bearcats will send graduate right-hander Ryan Packard (3-5, 7.31 ERA) to the hill to face the Great Danes.
