BB: LEC: Little East Conference

BeaconsBaseball · May 09, 2013, 08:11:14 AM

Umb surprised me yesterday by beating Keene, especially with Keene jumping out to an early lead and some shaky d from Boston. Good thing the beacons bats showed up today just in time for the LECs. My predictions for today are eastern over umb but in a close one with Szatrowski on the mound the the beacons. Usm over Keene and Dartmouth over western

Ill go Western, Eastern and USM today.

OWLS LAST Losing season - 2004 - WILL the real OWLS be back in 2014? - I(we) hope so. Tough year with injuries, but all teams have them. Now time to get ready for another year. I know I sound like a SOX fan - "wait until next year" - BUT - it is the TRUTH - Good luck to the HUSKIES as we all hope they bring back the Walnut and Bronze to the LEC.

Yeah a tough year for the owls of Keene. I dont want to say it was a rebuilding year but a lot of ab's and ip went to freshman, as well as injuries hurting some important people. I could really see keene rebounding very nicely in the next year, and especially the year after that. I know that Coach Howe and Testo work very hard to build a program, and i dont doubt that they will be back better than ever in a year or two. Ill give my two cents (worth a half pence really) about off season stuff later... there is still the rest of the lec tournament to be played. My predictions for today

Eastern finishes off UMB
USM beats Eastern right after
Dartmouth eliminates Boston if that game is played

hockeyfan- i know that usm does not have lights, because lets be honest who wants to play night games in march in maine. Does any team use that park during the summer? Would USM ever consider lights if someone else used the games for the summer and could maybe share the cost of them? That field is a gorgeous field, would love to see them get lights, and maybe even host a regional tournament there.

I didnt see the umb/eastern game yesterday as i was out doing stuff, did game get halted on rain or on darkness?

Lights might be coming soon.....Nobody really uses the field in the summer ( high school champ is played at St Joes... The game is last night was halted becuase of darkness caused by a 2 hour rain delay...I wish USM could use Hadlock field (Sea Dogs play there)...

THanks Hockey- Im gonna be honest i have played personally at both fields and I think that USM's field is twice as nice as St Joe's. St Joe's is very nice but i think that Southern Maines is still much better. Lights i think would be a great addition.

THe sea dogs field would be amazing, but probably hard to get that. Also the conference tournament would be at mercy of the Sea Dogs schedule. I would think that scheduling that would be a nightmare

I totally agree about the difference in fields: not a big fan of St Joes field: lost too many high school playoffs games there....I know they had the regionals at Hadlock in 99 and 00... They could also use the Sanford field (Goodall) or even the old triple "A" park in OOB... My guess though is that USM gets lights in the next couple years .. Been talked about all tourney....

USM putting it on eastern right now. 9-0 in second inning. Ouch. USM looks like a national championship contender right now.

hockeyfan77 · May 10, 2013, 02:55:27 PM

USM defeated. ECSU. 22-9. to improve to. 36-7 on the season: Next up for USM. TBD. vs. TBD

BeaconsBaseball · May 10, 2013, 05:16:23 PM

In regards to usm/st joes fields I think that st joes is better without question. Usm looks nice and the infield plays great but the outfield is shaky where st joes is solid straight through.

mainefan · May 10, 2013, 05:38:25 PM

It looks like USM has good starting pitching, good relief pitching, good defense and plenty of offense.

hockeyfan77 · May 11, 2013, 03:38:12 PM

USM beat UMD 4-2 today to improve to 37-7 on the season: Next up. Wednesday. May 15 vs TBD. @ TBD.....UMD showed a ton of heart and will be tough in years to come....

Congrats to USM for winning this years conference tournament. The Huskies have a good shot at being the #1 seed in Harwich. Will Eastern at 30 wins get an at large bid? And if they do where do they get shipped to harwich or ny? Should be interesting to see what happens in the next 24 hours

Stump · May 12, 2013, 02:47:06 PM

Congrats to USM. They seem to be have a very balanced and powerful team. I'd be surprised if they aren't #1 seed. WNEC is probably leading candidate for at large bid with Eastern as 2nd at large if NE gets 2 with one of them being shipped to NY. NE region not nearly as strong as the last few years
