KSC loses to WNEU at home 7-6. Had bases loaded with one out in the 7th but could not get a run in. A questionable called third strike and weak ground ball to the right side. They coulda shoulda won. They came back from a deep deficit but could pull the string.

Panthers drop one to Salem State yesterday 6-2 in the only game on the schedule for the week. Back to back LEC pitcher of the week Rew Wilson with the loss. PSU is off until Saturday when they host UMass Dartmouth.

Huskies are certainly wearing out pitching staffs this year. Best hitting team in awhile? and pitching is holding up their end, too. Any weaknesses that you have noticed or are they really as good as the box scores and stats indicate?

I always worry about pitching and defense but this team is all around a better hitting team than the 2009 team: They can role 10 deep and will only get better when John Carey comes back from Injury....I don't want to get ahead of myself as anything can happen in baseball and injuries can happen at any time but it's going to take one heck of a game to shut the offensive down....

Looks like USM may have it all this year, half way through the season. If they can stay healthy and the pitching holds up, they will be hard to beat.

What is it? April 12th? Right and it is snowing in Keene! Nice!

Should make the WCONN DH tomorrow fun.

Keene takes two from western. Keene has won 5 of 7, and their next three games are all against LEC teams as they have Plymouth next week, mid week.

Plymouth takes two from Dartmouth. Boggsy said that Wilson pitched mid week, can his arm bounce back in time for sat? Or will he be rested and pitched against Keene on Tuesday.

Southern Maine right now looks like the best team in the league and i think will double up on RIC. Just to many sticks for the huskies, which look like USM teams of old with that hitting

Games of the Week Eastern and Boston split. Chamberlin will win in game one and I think Boston will squeak one out in game two.

Where is JCON when we need him?

Boggsy789 · April 14, 2013, 10:52:51 PM

Well we might have been swept by Dartmouth at home but we bounced back by pounding 2W-16L Lyndon State today twice. Keene State comes to town on Tuesday , should be a fun one.

Congratulations to Coach Bill Holowaty on his 1400th career win, (6-2), vs Trinity College today in Hartford.

Here is a UConn basketball star who came to little NAIA Eastern Connecticut State College in 1968 to coach a baseball program no one knew about, could have been a NCAA D-I Baseball coach if he wanted, but dedicated 45 years to Eastern and made it a national power. There may be individuals out there that do not like him, but I dare say they wish they had him running their team!!!!!
