BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[santeezy06]

One day left of work and on my way down to Sunny Florida, I can't wait. Hopefully all the teams of the LEC are doing well in the spring games. Goodluck and keep us all posted on their status.

Will do if/when I access Hotel computer(s)

Additionally, I would think the D3basball.com boys will have scores as well

No baseball for ECSU or S. Maine this weekend, the trip to Farmingdale for both teams have been canceled.  Four games to make up already.  Maybe we can get one or two in Arizona and I sure hope Stevens Tech can dry out by Wednesday.

Yeah that snow storm im sure will not help things, will eastern and southern maine add new teams or go to farmingdale later in the year?

Don't worry, just think how green the grass will be for a potential LEC tourney again in May.

Where in Virginia?  I'd drive quite a ways to see some ball.  Hopefully Hopkins will get started in Baltimore this weekend.

Not sure if they will make them up with Farmingdale.  Weekends are all booked from here on, so don't think they want that as a weekday trip.  Plus it would only be one game if they did go.  My guess is they will both find new opponents.

No need....they are not going. 

Lets see....what, six weeks of indoors practice with maybe four days of work outside and I'm upset I can't watch a game or two.  The team must be chomping on the bit real bad.

Never mind.  Just got the call from Baltimore.  The field's in good shape and it's going to be sunny and 70 through the weekend.  Play ball.
