Anthony D'Alphonso at USM can flat out rake.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him hit around .450 with 20+ home runs and 70+ RBI's. 

He hit .393 last year with 12 2B, 3 3B, 15 HR's, 62 RBI in 50 games.

Over the summer, he got signed by the Sanford Mainers in the NECBL and earned his way to a starting role.  He ended up hitting .426 with 4 2B and 2 HR, with 20 RBI in 20 games started, in a very strong pitching league playing with mostly D1 athletes.

He has drawn some attention from several MLB clubs as well.  His numbers in the wood-bat NECBL and his numbers in the LEC demonstrate that he can hit the best pitching as well. 

The 106th season of the Portland Twilight League is upon us, based out of Portland, Maine.

Portland Twilight Baseball League tryouts will take place on Sunday, May 18th at 10AM. They will be held at the Frozen Ropes Training Center. Any interested in trying out will need to pay a $10 and pre-register (either now or upon arrival). You may obtain a pre-registration sheet at Frozen Ropes in Westbrook. A draft will take place at 2PM the same day and you will be contacted by your coach/manager.

Anyone who has graduated High School is eligible to tryout. The majority of our players are between 18-25, but there are still older players sprinkled throughout the league.

Anyone living in the Sanford area (Biddeford and south essentially) may send me a private message and I will forward your information to the General Manager of the team. Same goes for anyone living north of Lewiston (I believe they are having their own tryout).

If you have any questions about the league, feel free to email me.

How about another LEC Tourney win over KSC by USM, 8-4? 

I'm pretty sure USM has all but sealed their fate with that win, regardless of a tourney championship.

St. Joes 6
Suffolk 5

SJC wins the GNAC conference tourney and earns a free bid.  Go Monks!

St. Joes: 7
Suffolk: 1

Is this score accurate?  I saw it on the GNAC website.  I know numerous players on that St. Joes squad.  They all know how to win.  I wouldn't count them out if their pitching comes through.  A great hitting team with fundamental defense.

Lost to Dickinson 42-28.

Admitting defeat with grace.  Good call wordsmith.  What most people don't know is that Tupper was throwing with a near torn UCL elbow injury.  He battled, but definitely did not have his stuff.  I've seen him throw for 5 years. 

Congrats to ECSU.  Hopefully meet you in 2 days.

Call you around 6:30 pm tomorrow...

In all honesty, of all the games tomorrow, this is one upset that could happen.  While I agree St. Joes does not play the most challenging schedule, there are some big time players on the team.  Don't underestimate them. 

It may be a David and Goliath game, but this time David has a lot more than tock pellets in his pocket. 

Prediction... SJC 6 ECSU 5... Luke Enman goes yard.

St. Joes defeats ECSU.  Sleeper.

If umpiring is bad, it's usually bad for both sides.  Unless you are claiming the umps are not impartial?  Perhaps the umpires got together and decided to gang up on KSC?

Deal with bad umping and play ball.

They seem to have left St. Joes out of the mix on that, at least for baseball...

Sorry, that was a major typo.  9-8 is correct.  I was typing it as I listened to the end of the broadcast and he said 9-3.

Final Score

Keene State--9
UMB--3

St. Sanborn more likely.  That guy is amazing.  He gets his players out on the field shoveling and removing snow on a flat bed.  One year he had a helicopter come in and dry the field by flying over it. 

Ganley's on the team.  Kinslow (a senior) probably played his way into an everyday starter.  Kinslow's an excellent fielder. 

As for D'Andrea, he either transferred or got in trouble/dropped out of school, I would think.
