Great game by St Joes and Tufts. Both teams wanted it bad, you could tell. The Monks almost lost it with a failed suicide squeeze but battled back to win.

Great tournament so far by all teams involved.

Wheaton over RIC - Good run by RIC but I see them bowing out today.
Tufts over St Joes - Tough call and could go either way.
Bridgewater State over WNEC - **Upset alert!! If Bridgewater's bats stay hot they have a chance here.

Why did Bridgewater leave its starter in for the 9th? I know they can't use the kid again in this tournament but what's the justification for allowing him to throw 147 pitches when they've got plenty of fresh arms in the bullpen?  I hope he doesn't feel the effects of this kind of outing if they get to Appleton.

I was thinking the same thing. They had a comfortable 8-2 lead, seemed odd to leave him in for the ninth with a really high pitch count. I'm not too familiar with Bridgewater's bullpen depth but I'm sure they have some quality arms.

WNEC 2, St Joes 1 thru 4 1/2...

Tufts over MIT
Wheaton over Husson
RIC over Bridgewater St.
St. Joes over WNEC

Looks like the Tufts/Bridgewater game might be delayed. The rain just doesn't want to go away.

Good win for RIC today. They took every advantage against a decent MIT squad. We'll see if their offense can keep it going throughout the tournament.

Tufts over Bridgewater State 
Western New England over Husson
Wheaton over St. Joseph's
MIT over Rhode Island College 

I'll take a stab at it:

NEWMAC:   Wheaton (in)
GNAC:        St. Joe's (in)

LEC            Keene State
TCCC          WNEC
NESCAC      Tufts
MASCAC     Westfield State
NAC/NEAC   Husson
NECC          Daniel Webster

at large: EConn, Amherst

Keep an eye out  for Endicott. They are having a good year and are somewhat flying under the radar. They play Westfield State and UMass Boston this week and would be 2 big wins.

St. Joe's
Murray  2.45 ERA  7-2  58IP  (junior)
Stanclift  2.55 ERA  5 saves  17IP  (transfer?)
Moran  3.52 ERA  7-2  64IP  (graduated)

Stanclift transferred to Keene State. That will definitely help KSC. Saw him pitch a few times this summer for the Keene Blue Jays, decent arm, had good stuff.

From St. Joe's website:

"Since 2005, only two New England programs have posted more wins (190) and just three have notched a better winning percentage (.714). St. Joe's is one of three teams in the region to have made four New England Regional appearances in the last five seasons and one of four to notch five 30-win seasons over the last six years."

From my research I found Wheaton (207) and Eastern CT (206) to be the two with more wins than the Monks.  I'm going out on a limb and saying the four 30-win teams are St. Joe's, ECSU, Wheaton but I can't figure out the final one...

Pretty impressive statement for the Monks

The final one I believe would be WNEC. The past 3 seasons they've had 33, 30, and 34 wins respectively.
