Western swept in a double header by Colby 11-2 and 7-2. At least the most runs we gave up were ONLY 11 -__-

That leaves our record 6-9 heading back to Connecticut. Were off until Tuesday when we visit Westfield state.

Also, I didn't listen to any of the games because I don't think many schools (if any on the trip) had live stats/radio down at the games in Florida. The West Conn athletic site is a joke. It's currently 4:42, so the 2 games must've been over for at least 10 hours and there's still no mention of not even a score on the Western site, for most of the results I had to go the opposing teams website to get the result. I don't expect the result to get there right as soon as the final out is recorded, but really after 10+ hours and a result isn't posted??

7,

Had similar problem over on ECSU web site, (however the SIDs are working to get team results from long distance for BB SB, and LAX). I monitored Live Stats on opposition web sites a couple of times.

Hope the nice weather doesn't completely dissappear.

ECSU relief pitching was a poor yesterday vs Hamline, giving up a crooked number in the 8th and losing 14-8.

Eastern this spring a C+/B-.
Low points...the team ERA is in the mid 4s and team batting is below .300. Only power hitter, Steve Commuso cant buy a hit and Danny O'Connell is having a slow spring so far. FP is mediocre at .957. Hepple and Merritt are struggling early. I hope thay get sorted out as they are important pieces to the puzzle this year. Jim Dimon's era so so @ high 3s, but is having control problems with too many walks!! Bull pen generally fair to poor so far.

High points...Some of the soph.,(Plourd, Accomando, Larrive) have been carring the team offensively, together with Joe Belowski who leads the team in hitting @ .375. So transfer Mike Pendergast and Sr. Evan Chamberlain have had strong western swings with 0.87/10.1 and 3.18/11.0 era/inns pitched resp.
ECSU overall W/L record is 9-3.

All above vs mediocre competition!!!

Still early and a LOT of baseball to play

Warriors in 2012 home season opener vs Suffolk on March 29 @ 3:30pm

This is a sure fire, absolutely fool-proof method of determining whether a young kid can be a successful outfielder. This young player? errr probably not.

Well the Panthers leave Florida 7-7 after a hot 4-0 start beating up on CCNY and SUNY-Maritime on the New York trip. A couple of tough losses to end the week to juggernaught Colby College of Maine. But we only need to go 5-21 the rest of the way to top last years record and 3-23 to beat the 10 wins from 2010.

Conference play starts next weekend and I'm feeling good. In 2009 it was 1 conference win, the 2010 squad doubled that with 2 conference wins, and the 2011 squad doubled that with 4 conference wins. So I can expect 8 conference wins I think for Plymouth this year. Although over the last 10 seasons the average has only been 2.6 conference wins I prefer to think there is a trend starting here.

Southern Maine loses to Amherst 18-8 today. Several clipboards were launched into orbit and NASA is still tracking one of them 18 miles down range from Canaveral.

On a positive note: Junior Tucker White (Deerfield, N.H./Coe-Brown Northwood) had a big day for the Huskies hitting for the cycle. White had a single in the first, double in the third, homer in the fifth and completed the cycle with a triple in the eighth. He is the first USM player to hit for the cycle since Adam Lemieux turned the trick against Husson University on May 2, 2004.

Hockey-

What is it that is hurting Southern right now? Is it the pitching or the hitting or both? I see southern beat a good wnec and then drop a pair to Ramapo and Amherst. Would like to see them get on a bit of a roll and build some momentum. From the box scores that i have seen, it looks to be a pitching thing. 9 runs to Ramapo and 18 to Amherst is not going to help the era

Keene at Babson moved to tommorow at 330pm

Umass Boston has a big week. They are at Fitchburg today, at St Joes of Maine Wed, at Worcester State Thursday and 2 at Eastern on Saturday. That is a tough tough week. 5 road games against decent teams. Obviously Eastern are the two biggest, and a big opening weekend for the Beacons. St Joes on Wed would also be a big regional win for the Beacons. If they can win 4 out of these next 5 games, it would be a HUGE momentum swing for the Beacons, and help that 6-5 record.

Both Fitchburg State (2-10) and Worcester State (4-10) are down this year, which should help UMB. RIC swept Fitchburg earlier this month and although Worcester State swept Southern Maine last week they have already been swept by Bates and Trinity out of the NESCAC and they have to play Endicott and WPI this week before their game vs. UMB, so they've got a tough week ahead as well.

Pitching: other than Ives nobody has stepped up yet....
