BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[KSCfan]

Southern Maine finally gets a pair 6-2 in the 8th

[Hobbesy]

The Huskies will be shaking their heads after this one.  So many chances for them in this game but only able to break through in the eighth. 

Still 3 outs for them left.

Melvin triple scores another run 7-2 eastern

[KSCfan]

10-2 and USM looks like its coming back tonight to play.  If they lose again tonight that is going to be a long long ride back to portland tonight

Hobbesy a shout out!

[Hobbesy]

What?!  I missed it!  Damn!

[KSCfan]

Yeah the announcer talked about a freshman on Eastern had 31 and that you wore it and that you were typing over on d3boards.  He talked about how you are a grad student in Boston, your webpage, and then he said dont write anything bad about him cause he is always watching hahahahah


Ok what did we learn from the first game of the tournament? 
1.  Eastern can swing it- we knew that
2. USM is down this year- we knew that
3. That Musson is a very good pitcher- we knew that

I would say if you are Eastern you must be pleased you didnt tax your bullpen, you hit the crap out of the ball and most important you won the game and dont have to play till tommorow.

For USM you start Henry tonight?  The only thing you can do now is take it one game at a time as cliche as that sounds its true. 


Lets go Owls dat dat datta da

So what is wrong in Huskieland? I have not seen a Southern Maine team this weak in the 13 or 14 years I have followed them.

Pitching, hitting & fielding are all below even middle of the road expectations for an LEC team.

Hockeyfan77 any thoughts?

Keene is starting Danny Nelson who has looked very good of late for the Owls.  Rest of the lineup is as follows

1. Diprato 1b
2. Cahill SS
3. Doyon RF
4. Cippolla C
5. Patanode 2b
6. Burgio Lf
7. Bergnstrom DH
8. Ganz 3b
9. Morrill CF

Very good offensive lineup and Nelson has looked good of late

[Hobbesy]

Great stuff from John Cabral.  All good things coming from us here on the boards!

As for game one:

Good start for Eastern and yes they can hit.  The question has been can they hit consistently.  Just a few games ago they combined for six hits over a two game span.  Dont know if that is behind htem yet.

They got a solid outing of Musson and that will help them throughout the tournament.

As for USM, they look nothing like the team they used to be.  Tough to lose that many guys in one year.

They are still not done yet but I think if Keene can take this game over UMD then Eastern and Owls are the favs.

Just lost too much from last year( and the loss of Josh Mackey to injury)...They are very young and as you could tell by the game today not mentally tough enough yet...When the going gets tough this team seems to play it's worst baseball...

[hockeyfan77]

can i have updates???  I am in an out all day and won't be able to watch the game(s) today!!!  Thanks in Advance...

Keene UMD 0-0 going into top 3, St Martin from UMD has 4 strikeouts already and Danny Nelson has looked ok in his two innings.  Much different feel to the game than the 10am game
