keene wins first game of a dh against brandeis at the swamp, doyon walk off hr

[wordsmith]

Keene State College sweeps doubleheader from Brandeis. Both in extra innings. Both come from behind wins.

Walk-off 3 run Home run from Keene's own Bobby Doyon to take Game 1.

Game 2 was tied 7-7 when The Swamp jumps up to bite the Brandeis Outfield. As KSC's Greg Ford lofted a routine fly ball to right field the mud and muck in that corner caused the player to slip and slide and fail to get to the ball. Oddly, Ford had struggled in that corner as well and struggled with several balls.  Ford ended up at third with no outs; 2 batters later he came home on single by Jones. Ford also got the win in relief and hit a ball that traveled over the scoreboard in center. Those of you that have been to the Swamp know that is a shot.

Two "good" wins for KSC.

Two freshman for keene right now are really locked in. Deprato and Doyon are absolutely destroying the ball.  Both are hitting well into the .400's and are anchoring the middle of KSC lineup.  Impressive come from behind win in the second game, a combo of Perkins double, Rouss single, and an rbi ground out had the score go from keene down 2 to tied in like two minutes.  Keene postponed yesterday against umd when it was 70 and sunny anyone know why?

Field conditions?  Did you see Right field today? In fact the decision to play today's game at the Swamp or at Keene High School was not made until early this morning. And the forecast was for heavy rains Saturday. The weather folks kinda missed that one huh?

[santeezy06]

RIC improves to 18-7 (LEC 7-1) after sweeping UMB 7-0 AND 3-2 TODAY.

[Jcon8958]

Not a good day today for the beacons of UMB the bats were held silent by tibault who pitched a great game in game 1 and it was more of the dsame in the second game only managing 2 runs on 4 hits not going to win many games wen u only score 2 runs in 2 games.

Anyway looking ahead to next week 2 big games in the swamp vs. the owls of keene state

[KSCfan]

Yeah RIC is looking solid, 7 and 1 is pretty darn good in the conferance.  Yeah right field was sloppy today Word, but it did rain all morning.  Yesterday was 70 and sunny so maybe right field would of been better.  On a side note is gilblairs injuries really bothering him?  I noticed the 1-3 record i know seans a competitor and will battle through injuries but i wonder if the injuries are nagging him or if he is just getting beat?  At halfway point the LEC is really anbodys  game between UMB, ECSU, Keene, and USM.  Second half should be real interesting as UMB has to still play Keene, and RIC plays Keene.  Any predictions on seeding for tourny? I know its early but still fun to speculate.

Keene State will host the tournament and embarrass the admin into improving the facility.

[Jcon8958]

Rhode island is a real good baseball team if they get the pitching to go along with that hitting i think they will be hosting the tourney this year my seeds are as followed

1.RIC
2.KSC
3.UMB
4.USM
5.ECONN
6.Does it really even matter cause i dnt think any of the last 3 teams could get a win in the tourney but if i had to pick a team PSU

[santeezy06]

If  RIC can maintain the pitching along with their explosive bats they should host the tourney, my preliminary seeds are....

1.RIC
2.KSC
3.USM
4.UMB
5.ECONN

[wordsmith]

Who will Host the LEC Tourney Prediction Contest?
Eye Say Here are my predictions for final LEC Records

1) USM                11-3
1) RIC                 11-3
3) KSC                10-4
3) TEE                10-4
5) UMESS B         6-8
6) PlyWood        3-11   

I don't know the Tie Breaker as USM & RIC split their series. So, look for USM to host. AGAIN!

PS did anyone notice that USM and UMESS Boston are not doing the home and home single game as in the past. This gives the Maniacs 8 home games in the LEC, all double headers, whilst the Chowdas have 4 "home" games in Conference. All other teams are 7 and 7.

The cost of fuel may cause the LEC to re-visit the home and home series next year.

[KSCfan]

Heres my seeds:

1. KSC
2. USM
3. RIC
4. UMB
5. ECSU
6. MATTERS as they will go two and done

I think that Keene has the toughest road ahead out of any of the teams.  They still need to navigate through a DH with RIC, Boston, and Maine.  Those are six tough games.  The two aginst UMD should be a little easier, but there is no such thing as an easy LEC game.  I think that real  x factor for them is going to be Phil Maybe.  When is on, hes one of the most dominate in the league, when hes off hes really really off.  He has had two really good starts now after having two really bad ones in arizona.  Morin the other weekender for KSC will be solid as he always is, maybe is the diffeance maker.  Anyones tournament, the LEC is so wide open right now its exciting to watch.

[Jcon8958]

Ya its a joke they were suppose to play yesterday but there doubleheader vs. RIC was moved to sunday due to the "bad weather" in RI and the game vs. southern maine was moved to the 27th as part of a DH in maine which is unfair so instead of having the normal 7 LEC home games they get 4 not to mention the 26th and 27th they have to play 4 LEC games in 2 days the first on saturday vs PSU at noon then they have to turn around in go to USM for another doubleheader at noon.

This is a great season in the LEC any of the top 5 teams can beat each other on any day they play cant wait for the tourney this year.
