BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ecfaninri]

Jcon.....
It should be a good matchup on Saturday. Gomez and Dalton vx Musson and Fontaine or Schult and Church.

Bobby Beacon....
What happened on the driving range vs Salem and Worcester?

DGilblair..... Will we see you on the Hill this weekend?

Could the Beacons be coming back down to earth?  Is this two game skid a sign of things to come?  Could the Beacons be that middle of the road team we thought they where, (que the Bears coach here).  Only time will tell.....

Come on Beacons give me just one on sat thats all i want, just one.

USM sweep RIC.  Colin Henry and Ben Ives (?) provide good 1-2 punch and RIC still not quite there yet.  Still, both games are close. 

Hopefully Schmidt can get back up too speed...I don't think Ives can last as a #2 against the stronger LEC teams: I do hope he proves me wrong though...USM whole season IMO rides on Schmidt and whether on not he can pitch like he is capable...

KSCFan,

I believe you were referring to Dennis Green the coach of the Arizona Cardinals when they played Da Bears and lost to them after a large lead. Get your facts straight!! 

Keene v. Wheaton @ Wheaton today, should be a good test before the weekend!

[KSCfan]

True good point LEC fan once again my verbiage is off.  Thank you for the correction.  Yes Wheaton vs Keene is going to be a great game today.  Should be interesting to see who Keene starts as it might give us a clue of who they will throw out there for the opening conference weekend. 

Also LECer's Conference play open up today with Eastern vs Western.  Im assuming that Eastern will take care of business but none the less its a beautiful day for baseball here in NE

Do we still pooh-pooh UMB's win over Wheaton as Wheaton"s off year. This does not look good.

Jim Shult pitches 8 great innings.  Up 6-1, Bullpen gave it away badly!!.  Clutch hitting, excellent pitching and great fielding by WCSU!!!  Only good thing in Mansfield today was the weather

[KSCfan]

Wow western pulls it out.  It seems the eastern bullpen imploded on itself that must be frustrating as a team. Def puts the pressure on the warriors tommorow. On another note Keene is now 0-2 against thee top of the newmac this year.  I was out skeet shooting today so i missed the game anyone listen to it or have an opinion on it?  Beacons lost third straight and that is never good. Very excited for sat dhs

Checking the boxscores from the last few games,  UMB needs to tighten up the defense and cut down on strikeouts, coach looking for answers juggles the lineup today but no luck.  Not getting many walks either and alot of quick innings, maybe they should try being alittle patient at the plate.  Make the other pitcher work. Just some observations from afar.

I was left to just shake my head as I listened to Eastern blow a five-run ninth inning lead to Western. 

All I have to say is that it happens to the best of us.  If and this is a big IF...Eastern can put together a pitching staff they will be a dangerous team.

UMass Boston has hit that bump in the road and they will either hit a pot hole or smooth road Saturday at Eastern.

Wheaton's performance against Keene put any thoughts about their down year behind us but continued to raise questions about the Owls.

Pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching.  Anyone can hit with a metal bat boys.  You can NEVER have enough pitching!

Oh, LEC wasnt the only conference that saw an upset or two on Friday,

The WConn - Eastern game was a crisp 1-1 game until the Warrior bats broke it open in the eight. A couple of questionable coaching moves made in the game may have been their downfall but the most telling play of the game was in the bottom of the 8th with runners on 2nd and 3rd - 2 outs and Parke hit a deep drive to the right -center gap and the the West Conn right fielder - Mike Yates made a "Wille Mays" over the shoulder diving catch to end the inning. If he doesn't make that catch it's 8-1 and the inning continues.   But Wojick came in and just couldn't put it in the book. Your right - it happens. But it was real ugly to watch.

ECSUalum...
Your're right it was a beautiful day in Mansfield - UNTIL the ninth inning.

Congrats to Melvin Castillo for becoming the all time RBI leader at Eastern. Considering all the great hitters in the history of the program - it's a thrill to seem him every time he steps into the batter's box.


Looking out the window right now... looks like another beautiful day for baseball. Bring on the Beacons

[santeezy06]

Looks like a great day for some LEC baseball boys. I will predict todays games as such and wish each and everyone of you a Happy Easter and goodluck on your games.

RIC vs. USM   I'm predicting split here, not much talk about RIC but the boys got some bats...
ECON vs. UMB  again a split both teams a lil shaky but by mid year will be solid if UMB can keep up.
UMD vs. Ply     a UMD sweep for sure
WCon vs. Keene a split as long as Wcon can maintain what they had yesterday.

Either way win or lose goodluck................
