[ECSUalum]

Watched the UMD vs UMB game today and have to say the broadcast was excellent!  Great HD stream with cf/sideline cameras and instant replay!  The UMB announcer was very good, (a little coulda, shoulda, woulda, re UMB 8-2 loss today), however, he was great on the player stats and player backgrounds!  I would say UMB looks to be one of the top broadcasts in D-III baseball!

Meanwhile RIC comes to Eastern Baseball Stadium with their top pitcher, after only playing a non conf game vs Fitchburg on Sat.  Eastern's starting and relief pitching has been really poor so far, giving up numerous wild pitches, hit batsman, RIC stolen bases, sandwiched between a bunch of singles, which, from the start is giving ECSU little chance of winning this game!   (RIC 10-ECSU 0 bot of 7  )

Re the scheduling, RIC had a definite advantage today as Eastern played their 1/2 starters vs UMD this weekend and than see RIC best today! I presume the other LEC teams will see a similar situation during the season.   The addition of Castleton as the 9th LEC has caused this goofy scheduling I believe!

[AllStar]

ECSUalum - Yeah, the combination of Castleton joining the league (meaning one team is off every conference date and teams now have two "home and home" series) and weather could cause some very quirky schedule adjustments this year.  Some teams in the league have already played three league games, while Castleton, ironically, has played none.

Yeah, I'm pretty each team is in that position once this season...

Watched a few innings of the ECSU vs Wesleyan game in Middletown.  It is a shame the game is on the the oldest football field in continuous play in the USA.  At least it is on grass.  The ECSU's newest HC, a Middlebury grad., Ct. native, was the HC of Amherst last season. 
Great hire, ECSUalum .  He is aware of the Wesleyan for sure.

USM Swept RIC today 10-3 and 9-5 (10 innings) to improve to 12-2 (4-0 in the LEC) on the season:
