BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[EasternCtFan]

Andrino is still pitching for boston? another guys seems like hes been there forever, has he gained any velocity?

[Stump]

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.

didn't see the play but there must have been no outs before the fly out.  otherwise, if there was one out, flyout is 2nd out and appeal of leaving 2nd base early would be 3 outs and run does not score. Rule 7.10a would seem to apply here.

Stump-

There was one out when the play occurred.  Thats what I did not understand

[KSCfan]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Keene did not get the job down today plain and simple and i am feeling like someone shot my dog.  Keene needs Eastern to win this thing and even then i dont know if its going to be enough.  We in Owl nation are praying tonight to the NCAA gods.  Pitching came back to bite the owls today and you need pitching in the tournaments so we here in owl nation are praying the NCAA gets a case of owl fever.....

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Stump]

Hobbesy,
I don't understand either because flyout being the 2nd out, an appeal of leaving early should be the third out, taking precedence over the scoring of the run since there is no way the runner on 3rd could have scored before the runner from 2nd left early.  I'm a little confused now, I figured there had to be no outs and then I could understand counting the run because each runner then could be handled separately.  Any umpires out there to explain this?

It was probably a live ball appeal play.  Meaning that once the next batter came up, the pitcher stepped off the rubber and appealed to second.  This is another play and thus the run on the play before counts.

Before Jcon and Bobby Beacon blow up the boards:

Great game from Andriano...first win of the season!

Eastern needs to regroup quick because the Huskies are waiting and are still hungry.

UMass Boston is playing for the LEC title 

Did I just write those words 

It will be a fun filled Saturday for sure! 

Hopefully someone will beat the Beacons once because I dont think I can get there in time for Game 2 tomorrow!

[BobbyBeacon]

BEACON FEVER!!!!!!!!!!       

The Beacon Bandwagon is rolling through Willimantic!!!!  And yes, Hobbesy, the BEACONS ARE PLAYING FOR THE LEC TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[KSCfan]

Hate to admit but the beacons are playing for the LEC title, i thinks that im sick to my stomach for saying that.  Im at a loss for words right now with keene going down like the bismark and the beacons in the championship game as the team to beat.  Owl nation in shock

[santeezy06]

I got to say wow is all, UMB sure has gotten hot and looking like championship quality team. I wouldn't believe it but the boys are dealing pretty well in this tourney. I wouldn't say I'm on the band wagon but they get a hat tip from me. Is it the year of the Beacons? We'll see soon enough..............

[Jcon8958]

Hey ECSUALUM, Hockeyfan u scared now.....

UMM NO,  I think USM has a much better chance of beating ECSU once and UMB twice then the other way around...

[hockeyfan77]

USM beat KSC 14-6 to improve to 21-20-1:


Next up

ECSU tomorrow @ 11:00

Regarding why the run scored, the double play for a runner leaving a base is not the same as a force out on a ground ball. If the run crossed the plate before the out is recorded, then the run will count.
