BB: LEC: Little East Conference

7express · April 23, 2011, 01:56:24 PM

2) What team in the LEC has the most regionally diverse roster.
-------------------------

Don't know off the top of my head but I can tell you for sure its definatly NOT Western. Majority (close to 90%) are from Connecticut. Even though Eastern is normally good I'd say most of their roster is from either CT/RI/MA. Only 3 people on eastern's roster not from CT/RI or Mass. I'd say Boston probably has the most diverse without looking at the roster. I know their basketball roster had players from all over including a couple from oversea's and I'm sure baseball is the same way. Only 5 players on the Western team are from out of state.

Big weekends for KSC coming up with games @ USM and home against Eastern...I was able to catch game 2 of the UMB doubleheader Friday...wow what a game...lot of chirping from both dugouts but was rather suprised at the ending of the game. Both the coaches and players (so I have heard) had to be seperated by the umpires! I guess UMB is quickly becoming the hated rivals of KSC...gotta love LEC baseball!

Should be another crappy week of weather so good luck to the rest of the LEC, can't wait for tournament baseball!

Western opens the door for Boston and Keene St. with comeback win vs. Eastern, 10-9. Not a good start to a huge week for Eastern. They play WNEC, Wesleyan and Wheaton the next three days and this should give everyone a good idea of what kind of team they have.

How will they respond tomorrow against a WNEC team that just got a big win over Wheaton today?

Can Keene and Boston take advantage of the opening (possible Keene sweep of the Warriors)??

Western & EConn seem to split almost every year in the regular season...or is that just me thinking that? And didn't Western give EConn a scare in their first go around?

And I ask again where have all the TEE posters gone?

I predicted WCSU would cause some issues this year, and they always play Eastern tough!!!!

Southern Maine getting a quality win over a good team in Babson.

Keene dominated Colby-Sawyer 13-3 yesterday. Not much to say about this other than it was all keene all the way. Lot of guys played for the owls. They looked good, and they have Brandeis today if it doesnt get rained out.

Congrats to Keene State Coach Ken Howe on his 450th career win coming yesterday vs Colby-Sawyer. Ken works really hard and has brought this program to where it is consistently challenging for LEC titles and national recognition. Besides being an excellent beseball man, he is a really, really good guy. Good job Coach Howe.

Keene beat Brandeis in a short game yesterday. Rain stopped it in the sixth, and keene avoided a rain short give away. Nothing worse than being down a run to a team you should beat in the 5 or 6th and the rain comes to give you a loss you dont really need.

Weekend Guesses

Keene sweeps USM
Eastern sweeps UMD
(This sets up the showdown in the swamp)
RIC splits with Western
UMB sweeps Plymouth

This would make the conference standings look like.....
Eastern 8-2 would go to 10-2
Keene 6-4 would go to 8-4
UMB 6-4 would go to 8-4
UMD 6-4 would go to 6-6
USM 4-6 would go to 4-8
Western 4-6 would go to 5-7
RIC 3-7 would go to 4-8
Plymouth 3-7 would go to 3-9

That would put Plymouth in danger of not making the tournament no real shock there, BUT.... That would also put RIC and USM at danger of not making the tournament. Has USM ever NOT MADE the tournament?? I think they will get in but they are running the risk of landing on the outside looking in. OR what about USM as the 6 seed, and being the number 1 seed and getting USM in the first game. Not really your traditional 6 seed.

Just some things to think about

KSCFAN,

USM always, always plays KSC tough in Gorham! I think it is more likely they split and I'd even say there is a higher probability that HoFEddy's group could sweep KSC.

ECorn Sweeps
RIC Sweeps
UMB Sweeps

A Sweeps weekend is quite possible.

Now back to the Royal wedding. Isn't the bride lovely? :-D
