BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[KSCfan]

Did I read that right 24-9?  That is a pounding!!!!!!

Good to see LEC teams doing well in thier opening games.  Keene vs WNEC got rained out yesterday down in Farmingdale.  Next up is Winter Haven down in flordia for the owls.  They start March 12th down there with clarkson.

My thoughts on the weekend for the Owls.  I would give the weekend a B.  The owls went 1-1, i would of like to seen them play WNEC, but that will have to wait till later in the year.  Biggest highlight of the weekend had to be Chris Cutcher.  11k's and a solid 6 innings in the owls win.  If the owls can keep getting strong performances from thier starters like this, the owls will be very very good. 

One thing that would be nice to see the Owls work on are errors.  They had 2 on Friday and 3 on Saturday.  That means 5 errors in 2 games.  I dont know if this is based on the fact that they have been fielding groundballs in the gym, start of the year nerves, or what have you.  I am not concerned yet about the defense but it did stick out to me

Is Monkey Stomp defined solely on the Liberty League Football board as a overwhelming defeat in football only?

Gentleman gentleman gentleman (I use that term very losely  )

We have another season of LEC baseball upon us and a target on there BEACONS back?

Lets jump right into it the Beacons have the best and most PROVEN team in the LEC and to argue that point is a losing battle. They have 2 returning All Americans in Dalton and Walsh the best lineup up and down in the league No doubt. they return there ENTIRE lineup (minus Tambling) which is bad news for ever pitcher in this league. IF there is a small question mark with this team its there bullpen...theres alot of youth down there but from what I have heard they are solid up and down on the back end with that youth.

So in closing its good to be back... But lets be serious this is the Beacons TIME TO SHINE (no pun intended) CATCH UP BOYYSSSSS

JCON OUT 

[Jcon8958]

P.S.-WELCOME TO BEACONVILLEEEEEEEE

[RICfann]

Let the beacon talk begin. RIC headed down to florida today and open up tomorrow against aurora university.. Here's to a new season.. Good luck everyone.. I'll post up the results after I find out

[KSCfan]

Jconn welcome back, good pun.  Go get Bobby Beacon back and bring him back to.  I was starting to actually miss my beacon friends.  On your points about Umass- Boston, yes they are good, very good in fact.  No one can argue that.  I cant wait to see them get out there and start playing.  LEC should be a good battle this year between Umass-Boston, Eastern, USM, and Keene.

Keene heads down south on Saturday.  It is interesting to not that on the Keene schedule they play 8 single games down in Florida. I guess if you add the two they played last week in Farmingdale that makes up thier 10 "southern trip games".  8 single games shouldnt be that taxing on the pitching staff.  Should be interesting to see how the Owls do.   

Eastern plays two down in Farmingdale this weekend, and then heads to Arizona the following friday.  Southern Maine goes down to Farmingdale this weekend as well and Florida on the 18th as well and the Flying Jconns play thier first game today.

Ric downs aurora university today 14-9.. Bad outing by Levesque who threw 5 innings allowing 7 runs 5 which were earned. Ric was very good offensively today with newcomers Danny Hopkins, Brent Hopkins, and Joan Mustafa leading the way.. D. Hopkins had 3 hits, B. Hopkins and mustafa pitched in with 2 hits as did Levesque and Allaire. Eric Blanchard  was good in relief allowing 1 run in 3 innings of work. This team seems to have a good offensive team but we will have to see how the pitching holds up. Next games are tomorrow a DH vs WPI

Did I see UMASS Boston losing 14-3 today, or was that a misprint.

[ECSUalum]

No misprint that I can see

[wordsmith]

Corey Vogt - KSC Closer was hitting 92 on the gun today...not bad for an opener. I think this kid may be the first KSCer to get drafted.

Keene leading 12-8 over Clarkson in 8th.
