BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[Old Spartan]

Thanks, I contacted Mr Harper and he referred me to a person at the NCAA as they own the rights to the broadcasts.  Yes, it is fun to see you kid on "TV".

I agree that staying in the winners bracket was a major advantage, thats just part of the format.

I know i sound like a broken record but i just wanted to say a great job from LECtv for both the regionals and the LEC tournament.  I really enjoyed the broadcasters and the quality of the stream.!!

Eye see where UVM (University of Vermont) dropped baseball. Wonder if any transfers will show-up in D-III in NE? Trinity, Williams, Tufts, MIT, Bates, Colby, etc might be top picks for the scholar-elite type of student-athlete. Not that other schrrrroools don't offer some great programs.

Several good articles about how difficult of a year the team had since most of the effort was on kids finding other schrrrrools to play.

Transferring into most NESCAC schools is very, very difficult. I know that Bayer did it, but it rarely happens except from top notch schools like Mayberry transferring to Hamilton from UNC and Walker transferring from UCSan Diego to Middlebury.

But with the success that Bayer had, it would not surprise me to see Trinity get a few more Catamounts.

Jaime Morin from Keene State College (graduated in 08) was a catamount transfer.  He attended UVM his freshman year and then transfered into the swampowls after that.  I can only imagine what must of been a sea of voulchers at UVM games trying to get kids to come to thier school this year.  I am sure that Keene State will have open arms if any of the players are interested

Owl receives top honor

KSC outfielder a first-team All-America selection
By SENTINEL STAFF
Published: Thursday, May 21, 2009
Keene State outfielder Bobby Doyon has spent two seasons beating up on Division III pitching.

On Wednesday, D3baseball.com took notice.

Doyon, a Keene High graduate, was named a first-team All-American. Associate head Coach Marty Testo said that Doyon is the first Keene State player ever to receive first-team All-America accolades.

Doyon's former teammate Greg Ford, a right fielder and the Owl closer, was an honorable mention last season.

"I didn't want to put pressure on myself, but I did a little bit," Doyon said of his explosive season. "I didn't get off to the start I wanted in Arizona, but I kept fighting and was able to turn things around at the plate.

"Being part of such a strong lineup makes it so much easier. If you don't get a hit, the guy right behind you picks you up and drives in the run."

There weren't many times Doyon didn't get a hit. Doyon hit .435 for the 25-16 Owls, who advanced to the championship round of the Little East tournament.

Doyon, who made the shift from left field to right field this season, hit cleanup for an explosive Owls lineup that hit .370 as a team, with four players joining Doyon at .400 or better.

Doyon led the team with 73 hits, 22 doubles, 13 home runs and 73 RBIs.

In four games in the LEC tournament, he hit .438 (7-for-16) with four runs scored and six RBIs. In a 7-2 victory over top-seeded Southern Maine, he went 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBIs and two runs scored.

"Bobby had an outstanding year," Coach Ken Howe said. "When you can put a player of his caliber in the middle of the lineup, you know you're going to score some runs."

Doyon is no flash in the pan. Last season, his first with Keene State, he was named the LEC rookie of the year after hitting .408 with six home runs and 55 RBIs to help lead the Owls to the LEC regular-season and tournament title and the team's second straight appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.

He opened his career on the team's 11-game trip to Arizona hitting .450 (18-for-40), with seven multiple-hit games and 14 RBIs.

Doyon will get a chance to see how he will do with a wooden bat in his hands this summer. The talented outfielder will play for the Protocall Stars of the Atlantic Baseball Confederation College League, a wooden bat league in New Jersey.

"I'm definitely looking forward to it," said Doyon, who will play his first game Sunday. "It's my first time playing in a wooden bat league. My bat might not be as explosive, but I think I'll be all right."

DGilblair.....
Congrats to Shawn.... It has been a pleasure seeing him do his thing. I hope to see where he does hook up with someone this summer because he does enjoy the game. If he is on the five year plan, will he be around trolling the outfield and bullpen in the fall aka Eric O'Toole?

You're right about having a player with the chance to pitch and hit. Schult did a very good job and I think others have proven it as well.

[d3baseballnut]

[hockeyfan77]

haha....

Video  keeps reloading...You get to see one pitch then you have to wait 2 minutes for the next...

[ECSUalum]

Yeah,

NCAA-TV

It is slightly higher quality camera work and video, but it reloads every 5-10 seconds!!!!  Annoying to say the least

Announcers are OK, however, the guy from U Mass Dartmouth doing the NE Regional was better.

Come On Bantams Lets GOOOOO
