Second excellent performance in a row for sophomore righty John Parker (Brunswick ME), in a 7 inn 6 hit 0 run 9-0 victory over Western today.  Nick Rascati, who has had a solid YTD,  pitched the final 2 innings getting the save!  Parker pitched very well in a no decision win over Suffolk last week.  ECSU's Baldwin, Zachary, Parkos and Sirois got 13 of 15 hits to drive today's offense.  A well played game today which they needed after dropping the last 6 of 9 games mainly on bad pitching and/or weak hitting and/or poor defense.  Parker had a stellar freshman yr with a 4-4 w/l and a 3.15 era record, so it is great he is showing some of his brilliance from last year!! Eastern team ERA before this game was 5.68!!!! 

[AllStar]

Keene State led 10-5 going to the top of the 9th, but proceeded to give up six runs and suffered a miserable 11-10 loss to Plymouth State.  They were looking to build off a rare doubleheader sweep, but it certainly did not happen.  Keene is 10-16 now, 3-4 in the conference.  The Owls play at Westfield State tomorrow.

Looks like Eastern will blow another big lead (8-3), vs Westfield, with a combo of poor middle relief and poor defense!!! Strike outs with men in scoring position continues!  JUST choke up, focus, and put the ball into play....... geese!! 
Not sure what is wrong with Eastern baseball, these days, they really have not been nationally competitive over the last 10 yrs!!  Until they get an arm like Gilblair, De Pietro, Caneira etc, and play some defense, the team will be no better than good at most!!

Eastern loses 10-9 (10inn)

[AllStar]

Interesting that some people are quick to post when teams lose but fail to post win some teams win......

Anyhow, Keene beat Clark (26-11) last night 7-3. The owls looked good heading into the final stretch of conference play.

Looking at the LEC standings, couple of things jump out...

1.  Looking like we are headed to Gorham for the LEC tournament, beautiful stadium just wished they had lights as darkness can play a role in the third game which stinks. 
2.  Its going to be a dog fight down the stretch in the bottom of the league.

Keene 3-6
Plymouth 3-6

RIC half game back at 3-7

Western a game out at 2-7


Keene split with RIC and has lost the first one to plymouth already.  They have 5 left
     - at plymouth
     - at USM (2)
     - home vs Eastern (2)


Plymouth has:
     - home vs Keene
      - at umass boston (2)
      - home vs RIC (2)    This double header might have huge impact on who is in the conference tournament and who is out

RIC has:
       - Double at Western
      - Double at Plymouth

Western has:
      - Double RIC
      - Double at Boston


This thing is still wide open!!!
