BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[Spence]

Nothing seems to come up...probably too old. I'm sure I could probably order an old hard copy of it.

Not really sure what I'd do with it...framing doesn't seem quite appropriate since Marietta lost lol.

[ECSUalum]

Spence,  when you say freelanced, does that mean you had an article in the H Courant for the CWS Championship game ( Marietta vs ECSU)?

Today is the day I have been talking about for weeks since I started posting UMB vs. ECSU. Lets see what happens

[ECSUalum]

Did ECSU have 30 regular season wins the year they got a Pool C and won the tournament?

Whats with the term "Evil Empire"  Who coined this term??

Spence, Thanks for the info from Boyds

[wordsmith]

Ahh, the Evil Empire term was coined by me.

Consider it a complement; we all dislike EConn but respect the success.

That's what happens when you are consistently successful.

Yes, just that one story for the Courant. I can't remember how it happened but I found out the Courant wasn't staffing or their stringer fell through or something, so I called them and asked them if they wanted me to do it.

[ECSUalum]

ECSU sweeps UMass Boston 4-2, 7-2.  Giblair complete game, Jagodzinski 8 innings.

USM sweeps RIC, Keene'WCSU did not play, Plymouth UMass Dartmouth split

ECSU Big double header with RIC 4/21, then great match-ups with Trinity College Tues 4/24, and Wheaton 5/3

Keene State 5/5 will end LEC play unless rainouts

Not sure what you mean by this. Let's see Johnson + Wales,  Babson...sure indicators of the power of ESCU and USM. KSC starting pitching is strong. They can win with the schedule they have left.

Mearly describing major opponents,(dates) ECSU faces in 2nd half of season.  what did you think I meant???

No doubt Keene St has come a long way and is now competitive, but it all comes down to who can play under pressure of LEC Tournament and then the NCAA Regional and National Tournaments

I quess we will see eh??!!

Thanks for the explaination, was just curious on the terminology.  Sort of like "those damn Yankees" so to speak

Who is your pet DIII NCAA team, if I may ask?

I misunderstood. Sorry. I thought you were predicting KSC for the remainder of the LEC season. I see them 8 wins and two losses going into the tourney. Right now the schedule should support that but any more rainout could change that.

Keene St 8-2 going into the LEC tourny means one loss in double headers against USM, ECSU, UMass Boston, hmmmm, that may be a little optimistic.
