BB: LEC: Little East Conference

RIC sweeps USM 7-5 and 13-11 with a walk off bomb in the second game. I predicted split here but the boys wouldn't have it.

Sorry hockeyfan but today showed again that USM can score runs but they don't have the pitching coming out of the bullpen.

I wasn't really disputing that fact...All I was saying is that USM doesn't have the offense to overcome the bullpen woes like they did last year...The bullpen was bad last year as well, but the offense covered that up...USM's team last year would have at least 15+ runs against the pitching they faced today pretty much making the bullpen moot...

R.I. College Sweeps USM in Dramatic Fashion, 7-5, 13-11...USM Drops to 8-7 (0-2 in the LEC)...

Next up Huskies at Endicott on Tuesday (3:30 p.m.)

Crazy day in the LEC!!

I thought USM would sweep but we all know how that turned out. Wind must have been blowing out in Providence! Three bombs apiece for Henry and Levesque! Levesque is hitting like .550 or something..haha

Eastern two big wins over Boston. They eked out game one. Here is one bias I will let out...couldnt be happier for Cannata. Kid works hard. 1,300 wins for Holowaty...not to shabby.

Western looks to be the party crasher this year. Keene couldnt get enough against Armstrong and then the Colonials ran out of pitching as the Owls teed off in game two.

Two good wins for Dartmouth as well. Have not seen the box scores yet but a good start nonetheless.

After one weekend, it appears the LEC is wide open this year! I am expecting alot more surprises now as the year goes on.

"Western looks to be the party crasher this year. Keene couldnt get enough against Armstrong and then the Colonials ran out of pitching as the Owls teed off in game two."

Armstrong pitched out of trouble several times. Showed some real strength making good pitches and getting key strikeouts when he needed them. He had good movement and was hitting his spots. He has to calm down on the mound. Some umpires wont like his antics if he is to be a tier one pitcher, which he can be.

Good to see RIC get a sweep.

Eastern got back on track after Friday's stunning loss to WestConn. Musson with the win in game 1 went the distance and was in control. A dramatic win for the Warriors in the bottom of the 9th left the Beacons stunned when Cannata drove in two runs with two outs and two strikes on him. Fontaine threw well in the 2nd game giving up 2 runs on 4 hits. The UMB Fontaine hit two bombs in the 2nd game, but other than that the Beacons were probably deflated from the game one loss.

Good to see Parke get on track with a grand slam and Castillo seemed to be on base all day. A beautiful day in Willi.

Tough week ahead for the Warriors with games vs. WNEC on Monday, Montclair St on Tuesday, and Springfield on Wednesday before hosting the Keene on the weekend.

That Eastern-WNEC game should be a good one. Last year, WNEC beat Eastern 14-3 at Eastern while they were ranked #1 in the country (I enjoyed that victory

) and ECSU looks to avenge that loss. I should be in attendance for the game, so I am looking forward to it.

ECSUalum ....
Happy Easter.... What a day...Opening Day/Night at Fenway vs. the Yankees.

I was a little surprised that we haven't heard from JCon and BobbyBeacon after a stellar week.

I will say the Beacons can hit, they can run, Dalton and Gomez will give them some innings but the defense and their bullpen was shaky.

But the Beacons should get back on the winning track with games vs. Framingham St. and Lasell before meeting up with Bridgewater and West Conn.

Not surprised re UMB fans.
Yanks seem to be hitting Becket tonight, but I have learned with Yank/RSox games nothing is EVER over til the last out is recorded.

Hope the you and the fam. had a nice Easter, AND, congrats to Matt on another fine outing in Game 2 yesterday!!!!!!!!
Nice to see Matt and Will with so much confidence on the mound.

Two gutsy young men.

Hobbesy · April 05, 2010, 09:01:26 AM

Anyone's guess given the way 2010 has begun. WNEC always gives EConn a tussle, but I think as much as it may be a reloading year for EConn, it is more of a rebuilding year for the Bears. EConn takes it 9-5.

Curry plays it tough in Curryland but with game in Brockton not sure how that changes things. KSC is struggling both on the mound and in the field. Staff ERA @ 7.01 with an opp. BA @ .324 and a fielding % of .943

. Curry wins this one 13-11.
