UMB in the last 4 games has scored 56 RUNS let me say that again 56 RUNS.

USM has scored 53 runs in their last 4 games: it's a wash....

Next up for USM: 

Tomorrow  Keene State (DH)  12:00

KSC 17-0 over Plymouth State.  Doyon 3 more hits, a homer and 6 RBI's.  Vogt 6 innings 2 hits, no runs, a very nice performance.  Patenaude a very nice game at third base- no Owl errors until the ninth.

Word- I get the reference.  Did you ever read The Day They Shook The Plum Tree?  I once had dinner in Colonel Greens mansion at Round Hill when I was 17 years old.

Back to baseball.  It just occurred to me today that KSC played at USM last year and we are playing at USM again this year.  In my 4 years of following LEC baseball, it seems to me that home and away is alternated.  Can anyone enlighten me on this?  Did Coach Flaherty pull a fast one on us?  Hockey fan???

Great game between UMB and USM today the beacons kept fighting back and fighting back I would say that they were probally the better team today and deserved to win the game. 3 errors through the first 2 innings killed them but they proved that they can hang with the Upper class teams in this league today in my eyes. They just keep fighting and keep fighting down 5-0 then 10-3 they kept coming back and coming back and had the tieing run on first in the 9th wen salvador hit a frozen rope into the gap that was caught on the run to end it but this was an unreal game. If you dont think that this team can make noise in this conference then you dont know much about the game of baseball. Its time for everybody to give a little bit of credit were credit is due.

This team is starting to come together and they are going to scare people if you dont believe ask any player on USM or any fan of that team and im sure they will tell you the same thing that this team is a tough out and will be all season long.


Tommorow they have 2 versus PSU dont see any reason why they dont sweep they should hit that staff all over the place if they keep swinging that bats like they have been. Everybody is hitting. And andriano should build on his start last week versu UMD.

Not sure why, I know Keene did play @ USM last year as I remember Coach Testo (sp) getting tossed and having to sit beside me for one of the games...

A couple of quick comments before heading off to the WNEC games...

DChevy...lucky you getting to dine in the Green Home...Yes I read the hetty green story when we lived in New Bedford, I remember the son who lost a leg because of her 'frugality'...great town at that time late 70's to early 80's -->Freestone's Clam Chowder, Ma's Doughnuts, Davy's Locker, The Bagpiper, Portugese Shanty....scallops of the boat..

As to scheduling. In the 10 or so years I have followed the LEC this is the 3rd time I remember them changing the schedule. KSC always had USM and EastCorn late in the season; home and away single games have seemed to change-up as well. But you can bet that if there is a scheduling advantage HOFEddy will get a edge.

Good luck to KSC today. One of the few times I root against Sullen Maine.

I thought my travelling days were over. I also thought freezin' my butt off on cold metal bleachers was over, but noooo. Wheaton yesterday, WNEC today. Who plays tomorrow that I can see? Oh yea, the Easter Bunny is in action...

Word

I was born and raised in New Bedford, one block away from Ma's Donuts.  My kids fed the ducks across the street when they were small.  Small world.

As far as throwing around useless stats regarding how many runs our favorite team has scored lately, KSC total runs for last four games- 67.  Would happily have saved some of those for today.  Updated weather report for Gorham today- showers in the AM with overcast skies in the afternoon- high temp 52.  As of right now, the games are on as far as I know.  I think Riley and Raymond on the hill today for the Owls.

As far as I know the games are still a go...I will try and update before I leave: I live about 40 minutes away...

You can listen to the games here:

ECSUalum....
You are right.... The spiral continues but I don't think out of control. Just like last week a tough loss to UMD on Saturday but then Musson and Gilblair righted the ship against PSU. But with games at Montclair (L) and at Springfield (not an easy win), a clubbing by WNEC and then yesterday's loss to WConn, it's a sure bet that the target will continue to be on the Warriors again next week. I'm sure that there are not many people feeling sorry for Eastern and want to join in on their misery.

I'm sure WConn took delight in beating Eastern at Willimantic, and Matt after last year's  17K performance. I got their mid way through when it was  1-1 and Zancan and Matt were locked up. The key was WConn strung some hits together and a botched pick off reallyy energized WConn. They are a free swinging team and are going to get their wins.

Today I am looking at a short ride over to RIC and hope the bats come alive for Eastern. Hope to see you there.

KSCfan....
Should be a nice DH today against USM. Should be some bombs launched today. Must have been nice to have live batting practice yesterday.

Looks like a weekend of washouts across LEC.

RIC vs Eastern .....cancelled today....moved to Monday -switched to Eastern

Lucky Eastern on the site change.....but I'm not sure it matters right now the way they have been playing.  They have been very much looking like a team just going through the motions.  You lose lots of games doing that.  They are going to need to start playing with a little more sense of urgency soon or they will need to win the LEC tourny to get a bid.
