BB: LEC: Little East Conference

Santeezy,

You are going to sit there and talk about quality wins. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Who has RIC beaten? Lost to Wheaton, lost to Johnson and Wales for christ sake. RIC is the same team it is every single year get off to a hot start in the league think its going to be there year then they fall apart and go 2 games and out in the tourney. So dont sit there and tell me RIC is a better team then UMB. As I recall last year you were talking trash going into the tourney then UMB gave RIC there walking papers in the tourney.

Anyway enough about that HUGE comeback win for UMB over USM today with a 7 run 9th inning. Walsh hits the go-ahead Grand slam. Pitching was very good other then one rough inning. UMB also set the school record for most wins in a season. 3-0 weekend in the LEC cant beat that.

UMass Boston Rallies in 9th, Downs Southern Maine 9-6....USM falls to 17-17-1 (6-6 in the LEC)

Next Up

Jcon good win for your beacons today and hockeyfan tough weekend for coach F and the huskies

USM just hasn't learned how to win yet...Once they get rattled and face some adversity it's ball game over...Today's game was really tough to sit though...And yes Word, with this team I would break a few clipboards myself...UMB can swing and I was impressed with the bats but the SP for UMB was a walking time out: 30 sec between pitches at least and he made a well played ball game seem like a 3 hour snoozefest...Don't get me wrong he pitched well and kept UMB in the game but man, hurry the HECK up!!!!

Fellas the owls seem to be playing thier best baseball right now with a win streak , some good pitching, and an offense that is rolling. Keene got some ne votes last week should be interesting to see if they can move up the ne poll. I think correct me if I am wrong the first tie breaker is head to head and then I think it's record against next best team. We have to go down three or four teams for a tie breaker. Keene controls their own destiny which is really all you can ask for going into the final weekend.

If Keene sweeps umd and makes it to the finals of the LEC, Are they a pool c contender?? Does the win over Wheaton who hAs thier Mansfield ticket punch show the NCAA something or does one to many early season losses force the owls to have to win the tourny?

Jcon good win for your beacons today and hockeyfan tough weekend for coach F and the huskies

I'm torn with UMB beating USM. Jcon deserves no joy and HOF Eddie deserves his kharma this year. KSC has a real shot at an at large bid and a good shot of hosting and winning the LEC. They have beaten several of the teams above them in the NCAA rankngs. Their SOS and OWP puts themn in a great spot. They cant Take UMD for granted, and I think if they sweep and play wellin the tourney they are in.

Hobbesy · May 02, 2010, 09:53:56 PM

How about those standings!!!!

What a weekend of LEC action!

Five teams in the hunt for the top spot! All six teams with two games of each other!!!

And next weekend will get even better with USM and Eastern (Keene rooting for the Huskies for once

)

Keene St. and UMD (a little rivalry here??? How bout revenge for the Owls after being swept last year??)

New England baseball is taking a page out of the nhl playoffs right now!

PS...

JCon--

Good call on Framingham St! A very under the radar post from you back in February has proven prophetic as the Rams have won 9 of 10 and have tied the record for most wins in a season with 23. They are the #2 seed in the MASCAC playoffs.

santeezy06 · May 02, 2010, 09:57:47 PM

Jconn,

You guys won last year congrats, but stop living in the past as of recent your team has played very shoddy. I guess your going to boast bout this huge win over USM. I'll leave it on the field for the weekend, your not playing the same team as last year Levesque will sit you guys down with Vatter to follow. As I said earlier goodluck..............................

KSCfan · May 03, 2010, 12:25:10 PM

I love when jconn and santzeey lock horns. It's almost like a pro wrestling feud. That being said any big mid weeks games this week or is it exam week for most schools. Not playing all week I hope doesn't take Keene out it's rythm

LEC Fan · May 03, 2010, 01:40:59 PM

KSCFan, good point on the not playing for a week...hopefully the bats can stay hot for the weekend against UMD. Nothing like the last 2 games to determine the host!

As we near the end of the LEC regular season any more insight on awards? Doesn't look to be a clear cut winner for either...here are my guesses after this last week...

Player of the Year- Doyon (.436 10 HRS 47RBI 20 SB's)...tight race for this one!
Pitcher of the Year- Dalton (2.75 ERA, 6-1, 59IP with 4 CG)
Coach of the Year- Eygabroat

Hobbesy · May 03, 2010, 02:04:33 PM

Player of the Year-

very much up for grabs right now!

Doyon KSC (10 hr's, 50 runs, 47 RBI, 65 hits)
Talis UMD (.476, 57RBI)
Walsh UMB (.420, 54 runs, 50 RBI, 23 SB)
Those are my top three candidates...Eaton could be in there as well.

Pitcher of the Year-

Dalton has a pretty good resume
Levesque RIC (3-1 1.49 ERA)
Henry USM (5-2 3.15 ERA)

Rookie of the Year-

John Stone RIC (.418, 10 doubles)
John Carey USM (.336 5 HR's 29 RBI)
Ben Church ECSU (4-0 3.68 ERA)
Aaron Brunette UMD (2-2 3.03 ERA)

Coach of the Year-

Eygabroat UMB
Curran UMD

Interesting statistic on the home page of D3...

Keene State was ranked 3rd out of 300+ D3 teams with Strength of Schedule of .590. Eastern was also up there I believe at 31st. I would think this should help both of them them if they go deep but dont win the tournament??

Good call on Carey, in what has been a tough year Carey has been a bright spot...With Pisani at SS and Carey at 2B USM middle infield is looking good for the future...Plus he is from South Portland...

KSCer,

Just what we were talking about on Saturday. Any newbie middle infielders to USM will have to wait in line as they are pretty set for a few years at those 2 spots.

Hobbesy · May 03, 2010, 11:36:37 PM

just realized this but UMass Dartmouth could win the conference!!!!! So could UMass Boston possibly or RIC!!!!

If Keene and Eastern are swept that means it would be the Corsairs if Boston-RIC split or a two-way tie if either sweep!

There are numerous other scenarios I think and we will all be discussing possible tie-breaking procedures as the week goes on!!

Cant wait!!!!

Jcon8958 · May 04, 2010, 01:00:22 PM

How do u figure they have played as you put it shoddy as of late? They have won 5 straight games including 3 in the little east. You sir are a moron. UMB is a better baseball team then RIC plain and simple there offense is better and so is there pitching. Just look at the stats. Vatter and Levesque are going to be in for a RUDE awaking when they get hit all over the diamond come saturday. And keep your goodluck. Luck is for losers, a good team makes there own luck.

Also just want to send on my congrads to Shawn Gilbliar. He just signed a contract to play for the Worcester Tornadoes in the Can-Am league.

santeezy06 · May 04, 2010, 04:07:30 PM

Jcon,

Your very passionate about your team but also very rude and disrespectful. I on the other hand will leave it to the ball game, truth wil be told on Saturday and I hope for your sake your boys win cause otherwise I'll have the last laugh. Your team finally turns a corner in the right direction and again you think they're god. I remember just a couple of weeks ago you crying about them being in a rut. As I said Levesque will sit your boys down and Vatter will follow, and I guess instead of goodluck, good loser................Santeezy out!
