BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[wordsmith]

KSC is sleep walking through this game as they did in the first half of the year. UMB is ramped-up and playing inspired ball. No match at this point.

Will the sleepy giant awaken? Will UMB remember they are....UMB? Last 1/3 of the game will tell.

Hold on for a interesting ride.

UMB wins again 2-0 with ECSU up next tonight. Winner tonight has to lose twice to lose the title. Dont look now there is a train coming through full of BEACONS.

It's gotten awfully quiet in here!  Adios to the UMD, the Anchorwomen and looking like the Hooters are next. 

Anybody scared yet?

Keene State Turtles-Up on Day 2.

Sullen Maine remembered they were Southern "By God" Maine and KSC will probably be in a major dog fight for an at-large.

But, hey, when your pitching gets torched for 24 runs and the D has 4 errors in one game, it is time to point the bus north and head home and hope the body of work will suffice for an at large.

At least my Cleveland Cadaverliers didn't em-bare-ass themselves last night.

Did I see that right USM up by 8 runs in the 8th inning and they are stealing bases? Really & no one contests it? Really? Really?

Well here we are:

A chance for the Beacons to advance to the championship game.

I am not going to say prove they belong because they have not proven anything until they win the title.  This is uncharted waters for the Beacons and that can play a role in the next 24 hours.  The nerves get going, butterflies in the stomach, gripping the bat to tight, gripping the ball to tight.  

This goes both ways and you gotta believe all the pressure is on Eastern CT right now because they dont want to lose to UMass Boston  

Should be a dandy!

[YA, Boy]

Keene's big flop leaves them on the outs for an At-Large as far as I'm concerned.  Two more in region losses to inferior conference teams going down the stretch cant happen. The record leaves them close but, I will bet the barn that human nature comes into play in those seedings for regionals and human nature on keene state says they are not playing good enough baseball (Right Now) to be a part of this tournament. They had a great run towards the end of the season but these two games looked a lot like the slow start they came out of the gate with.

Ya, Boy

Great pitching by both USM and Keene State starters...combined to throw 0.1 Inning while throwing only 38 pitches and allowing 9 runs (8 er)...nicely done boys.

It's gotten awfully quiet in here!  Adios to the UMD, the Anchorwomen and looking like the Hooters are next. 

Anybody scared yet?

Yeah, I am soo scared

[FBFBCH]

Ya BOY said it best, nice run KSC, but human nature tells me they won't be getting the call...

KSC must root for EConn to win the LEC to have any chance at an at large.

We can all agree that KSC did not do themselves any favors today with their poor play. However there are several parts of the equation we do not and will not ever know

1) Had KSC gone to the championship we don't know even then if they would have been an at-large;
2) If the panel did have KSC in mind, then who replaces them? Westfield St? We have already had that discussion? A team from NY? another LEC team? Curry? Williams?
3) Today was today 1 day 2 games. The entire body of work must count for something.

We'll know soon

By the way the weather does not look promising at least according to this forecast.

Word

[Hobbesy]

I think with the Keene loss it hurts their at-large possibilities but it does not count them out.  They have had a good season but I think this helps Westfield St.  jump them in line.  I still think Keene is a better choice over Westfield but I dont think Curry or any other New England team has a chance.

[Hobbesy]

We got any ideas on the ruling of that play 

Runners on second and third and both tag on a fly out but runner on second is ruled to have left early.  Run still counts however.

It appears to me that it would be just like a line drive that got caught and the runner was unable to get back in time and was forced out.

Must be a specific ruling for plays like that.
