Well, Eastern wrapped up their 7 day Florida spring fling this afternoon with a 10-6 win over Benedictine University and a 6-2 overall record!  The SOS, (last years) of the teams faced was about average but not to bad.  Oswego St was ranked #16 this past week and probably the best team they played!  Overall the team hit pretty well with Alex Zachary, D. J. Scavone hitting in the low 300 and Pat Sirois, over 400!  Zachary with the only HR of the year so far.  Alex Parkos hit below expectations in the mid 200s but should be fine this season!  Team BA is estimated @.310. (Benedictine stats included but estimated) Pitching was mixed with starters Parker and Munchen and to some extent Buchetto having early season ERAs in the low 6s, mid 7s!  However, fr San Gagnon; So Cole Ogorzalek; So Nick Rascati; and closer Sam Kosterich had terrific Florida results.  Stat below do not include Benedictine game but Rascati, Gagnon and Kosterich pitched, giving up no runs).  Team ERA is estimated @ 4.30.  The Warriors play Trinity College on Tues but will see if the snow is gone by then, I doubt it based on the early week weather.  They then host Brandeis for a DH at the Mansfield Sports Complex on the following week-end.  The weather is predicted to be mild that week end , but they probably would have to soon plow or brush off the snow to guarantee a playable surface!!

ECSU pitching went belly up yesterday as the Warriors lost to Trinity 18-5.  Big 9 run inning did them in when they were giving up hits, walking players, throwing wild pitches and committing errors, pretty ugly inning in all  !!  Let see if they play on Sat. and get the pitching/defense back in order.

I went over the Trinity College baseball site to read what they said about Tues game and the writers mentioned they christened a new baseball field.  So I looked in the facilities section and low and behold a brand new synthetic turf facility that looks beautiful!  See the photo below:
http://athletics.trincoll.edu/sports/bsb/2016-17/releases/Baseball_51617
The old baseball field was pretty sad with no dugouts and just open benches for the players !! The new facility matches the quality of Trinity's program!  Hard to believe the Banthams went 45-1 and were national champions in 2008 with such facilities.  Wesleyans field is also poor.  You wonder why the alums don't invest more in NESCAC baseball facilities!
Anyway congrats to the Bantams on their new facility!!
