Hobbesy,
The new formatf or the LEC tourney is set up for a depth in pitching. If that's the case Eastern pitching Musson on last Thursday v. Wheaton wasn't such a bad idea, along with giving Schult a bull pen on Sunday left them with two top guys to throw on Thursday if they need to play 2 games that 1st day.
It is a little quirky setup with the host team being in a position where if they lose game one and have to play that fourth game of the day at night that they could get bounced in the opening day. But if they win game one - their pitching is lined up to pitch their 2 &3 on Friday.

I hope your right about  at an at-large bid if either ECSU or KSC don't make it to the finals.

Congrats to my hometown Lancers for upending Westfield yesterday. One factor may be former Eastern pitching coach Ron Isler helping their pitchers and their turn around.

Given that scenario one of 4 teams will go home on the first day UMD, USM, KSC or EConn. Any predictions? An early exit by UMD or USM, given their 2010 campaign would not be surprising; an early exit by KSC could damage their Pool C chances. Early exit by EConn, while disappointing, it would not be devastating.

I would pick USM as the team to head home early. Seems something is amiss in Huskie land.

My Prediction:

We will see a lot  of the Testo creep at the appropriate time;  Keene will use all their pitching; the young arms will mature, and KSC will win without losing. Everything is coming together.

Also in a KSC -Westfield State choice for at large- Keene's wins are better quality, and their losses are better and you cannot compare the LEC and MASCAC.

Goodluck to all the LEC teams tomorrow and for the rest of the tournament. Eastern is a great place to host/play a tournament and should give us some good baseball...nothing beats LEC playoffs!!

Predictions- Day 1
Eastern over USM
Keene over UMD
UMB over RIC
USM over UMD

Good Luck to all the teams in the LEC -
I am hoping that Eastern takes care of business in game one vs USM because it is a long day for the loser of the first (10:00 am) game.

Eastern over USM
UMD over Keene (Talis walkoff off the scoreboard) 
UMB over RIC
Keene over USM

Day 1

USM over EConn (revenge tastes best cold)(Gosh Word r u nuts?)(Nope just a hunch- Henry returns to the scene of the crime (21-1) and pitches lights out in his final LEC Start)
KSC over UMD (Foul Owls on the Prowl (1967- In the Heat of the Night)
RIC over UMB (masculine "Mascot RIC" Disco dances pants off Beacons)
EConn over UMD (Staying Alive, Staying Alive oh-oh-oh-oh Stayiiiing Alive)

Eastern (Fontaine) over USM (Henry) 12-4
Keene St. (Raymond) over UMD (Gomez) 9-3
RIC (Levesque) over UMB (Brunette) 7-6
UMD (Dalton) over USM (Ives) 3-2

Eastern will probably throw Musson in game 1 because he pitched last on last Thursday and Fontaine pitched on Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if Schmidt goes in game one for USM.

Eastern (Fontaine) over USM (Henry) 12-4
Keene St. (Raymond) over UMD (Gomez) 9-3
RIC (Levesque) over UMB (Brunette) 7-6
UMD (Dalton) over USM (Ives) 3-2

RSSmith,

You may wish to check you pitching matchup as Dalton and Gomez both play for UMB and Brunette plays for UMD.  I would be safe in saying that Dalton is going to throw against RIC in the first game for UMB.

I would be surprised if Herny doesn't get the nod...He really only threw 30 pitchers against ECSU on Sunday and really wasn't shelled like the box score indicates...If USM has any chance they need them both to pitch like they can...
