BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ecfaninri]

ECSUalum.....
Great to see you and your wife by the big tree at Snedigar.. It seems the Not so Evil Empire is somewhat back on track with the bullpen getting on track. A much needed day off today and then back to work vs Middleberry.

Dewing and Perry hitting the ball real well so far and the lineup is scary. I think the Johns Hopkins game was a freak game. 8:30 start.... time limit.... Musson in control.... Coach H getting tossed... really wierd, but you are right JH can rally hit the ball.

Frosh pitcher - Church looked real strong in his first win over a tough Williams team and will be a welcomed relief if Musson misses one start. It appears Musson will be ready when the team comes back east.

NEWMAC fans.... the kid Swanson from MIT pitched a real good game on Sunday - he saved the team a lot of innings after a shaky first inning vs the Warriors.

Oh by the way posters .... if yo ever get a chance to go to the RussMatt Invitational in Arizona - the local fans are great and they really support D3 baseball.
Snedigar Complex is a great place but the best place to eat out here is Rustler's Roost where you have to get the dish called "Cowboy Stuff" or travel to Scottsdale to a place called "Pinnacle Peak Patio" - and don't forget to bring a souvenir tie to leave behind.

B,

It was fantastic seeing you , your wife and see Matt pitch an excellent game vs MIT.  As posted earlier, it is much too early for any conclusions re Eastern based on a freaky JHU game.  L. and I really enjoyed the Eastern parent community out in Arizona, all tremendous individuals and supporters of ECSU baseball.  Came back to 44F temps and rain after leaving just  BEAUTIFULL Phoenix weather, ( 75-85F and sunny the whole week).  Looking forward to the rest of the season and the boys doing well.
Never cease to wonder at the dedication and hard work, our Eastern players and all these D3 baseball teams put out for there parents, coaches and love of the game!!!!!

USM splits with Williams after Williams rallied with six runs in the top of the seventh.  

ECSU back on track with a win over MIT.

Fontaine and Wojick pitched well Shult  3run HR iced it for ECSU.

Tooo early to start to panic re LEC teams!!!!
Re JHU game, Musson in control until injury!!! Bullpen shacky!! However JHU looks to be back, certainly can hit the leather off thew ball this year!!

Musson is injured? Any details?

Osh,

slight hamstring pull, put is recovering well.  Frustrating to see Musson go from complete control of JHU to loss of control due to injury!!!

Overall, no doubt ECSU will hit the s**t out of the ball this year.  Once Will M. gets back on track, pitching will be great, with freshman Ben Church really looking promising.  Still need to focus and concentrate on the defense.  Watched newcomer Tyler Turgeon, ( D-I transfer from Quinnipiac).  Looked really smooth on D at 3B as well a beiing a great hitter!!! His father was a star at ECSU who was drafted by Cubs in 1977,  hit 49 HR in his MiLB career, ending with Phoenix in 1982 (AAA Pacific Coast League)

keene state vs springfield cancelled to the swamp being well the  swamp.  Make up for it is on sunday

[ecfaninri]

Eastern back on track with a nice win vs. Middleberry. Schult pitched well and continues to hit. Dewing still hot. Infield settled down a little. Wojick looked strong in relief. Eastern was down 2-0 and climbed back into it then blew it open.

Next up is Marian.   I guess they picked the right time to be in Arizona. Yesterday was an off day and all the games got cancelled - rain - go figure.

At least they will be able to get in a few more games with nice "New England" style weather before returning to Willi.

UMB wins 1st game up north over Johnson and Wales 9-6. They are now 7-3 doing everything right pitching, hitting and playing defense. Im telling you boys SCARY SCARYYY TEAM.

[KSCfan]

Jconn i see that you beacons won again today to push themselves to 7-3 a very strong start.  So i did some snooping around to see who they have been playing.  Below are the 7 teams that they have beat with thier records.  It would appear that other than Denison no one has a winning record.  Espically Johnson and Wales who the beacons had to have a late rally to beat.  Below that is thier three loses and thier records.  All of which are playing at 500 or better.  Now you have to beat the bad teams too, but im still not a true believer that the Beacons are "For Real".  Now you might have said it best when you said that they are a scary team and they might be, I am really interested to see how they do starting with Wheaton on 3/28 and ending with Eastern CT for thier conference dh opener.  Sandwiched in between those games are Salem State and Worcester State I believe.  If the Beacons win some of these games then I be FORCED to agree with you.  Now 7-3 is nothing to sneeze at and I praise the Beacons for taking care of the teams they should, I am just excited to see how good these Beacons really are when they get into a meatier part of the schedule.  I hope they do well as I love to see Eastern lose at least one of those game and I always root for LEC teams when they play out of conference.  So we shall have to wait and see

J&W 2-13
McDaniel 4-5
MCLA 1-5
Hamilton 4-10
Ramapo 5-5
Denison 9-6

Total 24-44


Amherst 6-5
Will Patterson 6-6
Bowdoin 2-2

Total 14-13

Andddd,

If history tells us anything, UMass Boston has had a knack for taking 1 of 2 from the Warriors in Mansfield the last two trips.  The only two victories ever for the Beacons against ECSU.  Nick Conway pitched in both those games though....

Still, the Beacons are holding their own so far and it looks like McCormack is not going to have a sophomore slump.

OH!  MIT big win over Southern Maine 8-1.

Also,

Full scoreboard for today as West Conn split and Castleton St got a big win over RPI.

M.I.T. Downs Southern Maine 8-1...USM  falls to 6-4....Up Next

Huskies Face Carleton (DH) on Thursday (12:00 p.m. MST)

[BobbyBeacon]

Give credit where credit is due.  Hobbesy, much respect over the years and, I'm glad you remember those two trips we made to Mansfield.  There was nothing better than watching Holowaty (or Flaherty for that matter) huddle the entire team and, correct me if I'm wrong, say something along the lines of, "Are you f----ing kidding me?!"  The Beacons have always been written off and, like JCon said, they are SCARY!!

A win is a win no matter how you play or who it is against.  You don't have to agree or take our word for it, go check them out some time and you'll see.  That being said, the Owls aren't exactly holding court up in their neck of the woods against some of the garbage they've played against.

Huskies Face Carleton (DH) on Thursday (12:00 p.m. MST)

Ironically, MIT doesn't have an up-to-date stats page.  They banged up Ives and Hahn for 15 hits, every position player had at least one hit.  Are the MIT hitters that good, or is the Southern Maine pitching hurting?

I would go with the latter...USM is going to struggle some this year...Very young team...
