Congrats to Eastern and the LEC championship, I enjoyed watching the games on LEC TV and liked how when the p.a. announcer asked for the captains to accept the trophy the four seniors went out.
The good thing about this scenario is that Coach Holowaty has been in this situation plenty of times so I trust he will make the right decision on how he sets up his rotation. I would go Schult or Fontaine game 1, and lets not forget all you really need is 5 innings from the starters with the quality arms that are coming out of the pen. Does anyone know because eastern is hosting the regionals this yr does that reserve them the host for next yr also?

I'm glad someone other than me noticed that. +1

DGilblair.....
I was just wondering.. do go with Matt or Schult in game one vs a potential #8 seed? If you go with Schult you have then the big three lined up for the next three games. Not many teams can do that. Or do you go win Matt/Shawn in game 1 and have them ready later in the tourney on short rest.

I wouldn't change a thing.....Fontaine in game one.

nice problem to have.

Then who comes out in long relief?

Use Hahn and Eaton: they held KSC down for the most part...Stacy could be used long relief...I really think early outs matter more for USM than most teams because it's hard to hold down that offense...Also, USM has to think about throwing down some bunts when a pitcher is ON aganist them, make the pitcher throw from the stretch, give him more to think about and he will be more likely to make a mistake...

ECSUALUM- Thanks for your nice words regarding Jamie. He has always taken great pride in his defense and will appreciate your post.

ECFANINRI and DGILBLAIR- It was very nice to chat with you both in Gorham. The very best of luck to your boys and to all of ECSU in the regional and beyond. I am going to try to make it to Mansfield for at least one day, maybe two and hope to catch up with you there.

Hello guys- Sorry i was actually down in CT for the weekend visting the parents and i saw most of the games over the weekend. Couple of thoughts and ideas for you all

1. Eastern dominated that tournament. They looked like the real deal in every bit as i dont want to say they breezed through that tournament but they def looked strong. It pained me to watch them beat Keene in the finals but they def look like they have a good shot going to appleton and doing some damage their
2. I just want to wish the best for the KSC seniors. I know chev, perk, danny, and beau(tech a junior but not coming back due to he graduated) pretty well and 4 classy guys. I have enjoyed watching perk roam CF at keen and Chev at 2nd for the last 4 years. Darrak also another great guy as well as danny. They accomplished some great things and made the program better for owls yet to come
3. Switching from the keene love fest USM and Eastern got the top two spots at the regionals, but i think that USM got the easier game than Eastern. Babson is a tough team, i hope that USM and or eastern make it to the world series. Good luck to the LEC teams!!!

KCSfan, Chevy,

Many thanks for the comments, ECSU and USM, I am sure, will try hard to make the LEC fans proud.

Babson 8th seed

As info, Coach Howe's Mother had surgery today, and is hopefully on the road to recovery.

Mrs. Howe is a very nice lady and I look forward to seeing her next season in her usual seat at the swamp, proudly watching her son lead the Owls.

ECSUalum · May 11, 2009, 10:00:53 PM

God Bless her for a quick recovery!!!

Stump · May 11, 2009, 10:24:46 PM

ditto
Best wishes for a quick recovery and a return to her favorite seat!!

LEC Honors Announced

http://www.littleeast.com/sports/bsb/2009/News/20090512-bsb-all-conference

Congragulations to D'Alphonso on Player, Therrian on Pitcher, and Callahan on Rookie of the years. All were deserving of their awards. Goodluck to the LEC in the upcoming regional tournament, will def. be watching!

dchevy5 · May 12, 2009, 06:41:42 PM

Congrats to all the LEC award winners announced today. Wouldn't it be something to see an all-star team made up of these players compete in some kind of tournament. WOW, what talent.

Special congrats to my all-time favorite LEC player, Jeff Perkins, for making the all-conference first team. It is overdue. Jeff plays the game the right way, and plays hurt but you'd never know it because he never, ever complains or makes excuses.

Lastly, good luck to ECSU and USM on the eve of the NCAA regionals !!! I believe we may have a national champion from the LEC this year.

Congrads to all award winners and 1st and 2nd team players... Walsh a very very good 2nd baseman and just rips the cover of the ball In my option the best in the league. I said before the season him and Fontaine who had a a great season as well starting all but 2 games behind the plate and still hitting verey good during the season and i would say very easily (and I have seen all the LEC catchers this season) aside from the last game wen there were alot of pitches thrown very bad and no catcher would have made those plays is the best defensive catcher in the league as well.

But if course i have my grips as well Dan Noonan should have been one of the top 2 shortstops in the league. Burelson is a very good player and i think he deserved 1st team honors... But Josh Cardoso (have alot of respect for the player but) a 2nd teamer is just insane I understand he is a senior and it was his last chance but Noonan really deserverd to be there all his offensive numbers were better than all of Josh's... And Mcormack not being at least co-rookie and not being on either the first or second teams is absurd 5 TIME 5 TIME rookie of the week and not on either one is ABSURDDDD.

ecfaninri · May 12, 2009, 09:08:20 PM

JCon.... I knew the moment the honors were announced and saw that Callahan won the award outright as Rookie of the Year you would jump in and bring up the 5 straight rookie of the week honors. It's got to be a conspiracy theory. Realistically speaking.... how many real rookies were there?

KSCfan · May 13, 2009, 08:11:07 AM

Congrats to all the LEC all conference award winners. I felt that the league got thier big selections right with ________ of the year. It was nice to see Callahan win rookie of the year, and like ecfaninri said you knew a Jcon gripe was coming hahaha. Jcon has not been heard from for many days and i can only imagine he was standing on a bridge somewhere thinking about jumping after the beacons were bounced after two straigh games in the tournament.

Good luck today as the LEC looks to defend its "turf" at the regionals
