BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

ECSUALUM I dont recall ever running from my comments so do me a favor and stop talking nonsense.... And KSCFAN the same song and dance is oh KSC is this and that but  they can not ever get over the top.....AND the reason they threw Dalton is because he has not thrown in 7 days...its called keeping him sharp. I cant wait to see KSC play UMB so they can EXPOSE THEM FOR THE FRAUD TEAM (as always) THAT THEY ARE....there pitching will never hold up in the LEC. And ECSUALUM what are those stats about?? when is the last time ECSU went deep in the Tourney??.....long enought that your coach was wearing a Tufts hat last year...go back to the hole you have ben hiding in . Fact of the matter is as followed UMB doesnt have 1 of there best players (fontaine) and they are still the best team in this league. I have said enough those are the facts take them as you will. 

JConn,
Getting a little touchy, now that UMB is playing poorly are we?

Yes prior to last year, when UMB failed to live up to your gradiose predictions, you always end up crawling into "YOUR hole"!!

You want to compare ECSU vs UMB getting deep in tournaments?  You are foolish to even bring up the topic.  Give me a break

UMB gets to the CWS ONCE, and now they are THE LEC baseball program.  JConn, What are you smoking these days ??

All you do is make excuses for UMD's poor showing so far this year, Blah, Blah, Blah

Ric downed Roger Williams on Tuesday 7-4 to move to (6-6).. They travel today to Becker.. This team has been getting good pitching but their defense has been playing terrible.. If they can PCM the ball up I expect to see them in the mix..

As for the whole Dalton in relief I see the logic that it was probably his bullpen day anyways but he probably ended up getting a little more extended then they would like with the 55 pitches.. We will see how that effects him on saturday

Keene State pulls away from WNEC this afternoon 8-4 to improve to 11-3 on the year...DH @ RIC this weekend! LEC play is finally here!

[ECSUalum]

Nice win for KSC over WNEC today on live stats, ECSU edges Roger Williams 6-5 and UMB loses to Worcester St 11-5.

LEC schedule starts on Saturday, Good Luck to all, ( including UMB -JConn), for an exciting season.

My pick- KSC to win regular season and/or LEC Tourney, but just about everyone has a chance. Watch out for WestConn this year, who looks to make some noise and upset a few teams. As UMB showed last year, get hot late, and puch your ticket to at least the NCAA Regionals.

[KSCfan]

Good win for Keene State yesterday against WNEC.  Good combination of pitchers added up to the win.  The owls hit the ball also, no real surprise in that.  WNEC was ranked in the top 8 of New England and that is a good win for the owls. 

UMBust goes down to worcester state who is a pretty good team....


Ok lets enough non conference talk and onto the weekend.  Here are KSCfan's rarely acurate confernece predictions

Eastern vs Plymouth State-  Eastern takes two here.  I cant really see Plymouth beating Eastern in either game.  Has Plymouth ever beaten Eastern?

Southern Maine vs Western-  I think that Armstrong can pitch Western to one of these games, and i see a split here.  USM throws up unbelievable offensive numbers, but good pitching beats good hitting.  I think that Armstrong can hold the Huskies at bay for a while, the key is going to be the bullpen.  USM pounds Western in game two

UMBust vs UMDisaster-  Im taking a UMBust sweep here.  UMBust is to good and UMD has been struggling lately.  Dalton will pitch well and UMBust wins both and Jconn blows up on the board

Keene and RIC- DH of the weekend.  Of course im taking Keene to sweep here becuase Keene is a better team, and im a homer.  Keene struggles at RIC though and often times seems to drop games they should win thier, but Keene is hot and takes both

Happy Saturday everyone!!!!!!!!!

How's the weather all over New England? Keene at the moment MIGHT have 2 inches of snow. Just wondering if games will be played saturday? Like the look of the prediction's by KSCfan. Curious to see how this weekend plays out,but it is early. This weekend may expose some teams weaknesses and might enhance others, so let's hope the games are played! Anyone now what condition KSC's field is in? Not going to games this weekend, but might venture down to Amherst on tuesday? Anyone?    Go KSC    Wally

[KSCfan]

Wally-

The keene games are down at RIC which are in providence..

Sat forcast for Providence is mostly sunny and 52 degrees.  I dont know how much snow the area got today and yesterday but 52 and sunny is a good sign.  Hopefully what little thier was can be gone, i dont know if RIC has infield tarp but lets hope that they have it on.  Might see start times pushed back to 12 and 330 if they need the time to work on the field.

Amherst for tuesday is 50 degrees and 50% of rain.  I might also be going up for that one.  If i do i wil let you know where i will be. 

Go Keene and UMBust, come on Jconn lets get the Beacon wagon rolling again.  Its more fun when UMBust doesnt keep losing. 

[RICfann]

Ric had the field tarped yesterday and with the rain coming after the little snow the field looks to be cleared.. Games should be played tomorrow and looks like we will finally get some nice weather for the start of  LEC play.. Ric has not been playing very well as of late with errors and not coming up with timely hitting but they have been pitching very well.. I think either Levesque or Ruston could help this team to a split with Keene. Levesque threw really well last year against Keene throwing a complete game and taking the victory. If Ric can make the plays and come up with a few big hits it will be some very good games

Plymouth beat Eastern last year 5-4 last April 18!!!

Western falls at Ramapo Wednesday afternoon by a score of 5-2.  Despite outhitting the Roadrunners 12-9 on the afternoon, the Colonials could only plate single runs in the 2nd & 4th innings while Ramapo scored 4 of their 5 in the first 2 innings.  Ramapo only left 3 men on base on the afternoon while West Conn left 12 on base, the difference in the game.  Western falls to 6-7 and will be back in action (weather and field permitting) Sunday afternoon with a double header against LEC foe Southern Maine.  Game times slated for 12 & 3.

[hockeyfan77]

The April Fools Day snowstorm that hit the region over-
night has prompted a number of schedule changes for the University of Southern
Maine baseball team.
     The Huskies were scheduled to open their Little East Conference schedule on
Saturday with a doubleheader at Western Connecticut State University.  That twin
bill has been moved to Sunday starting at 12:00 p.m.
     The game originally scheduled for Sunday at Wheaton College has been
cancelled.  To replace that game, the Huskies have added a home game with
Amherst College on Sunday, May 8.

[LEC Fan]

Doyon really heating up for KSC today...3-3 so far in the first game with 2 HR's (both 2 run) and a triple! Keene up 10-5 over RIC in the 8th

[ECSUalum]

Anybody know what happened to KSC OF Cody Callahan?  Great Fr 2009 year, tailed off last year,( 2010), gone this year!!!

[LEC Fan]

ECSU he is no longer in school...not sure about specifics but he is not attending KSC any longer.

Keene beats RIC today in game 1 12-9...Keene was up 12-6 going into the ninth and gave a couple of pitchers some opportunities. Keene improves to 12-3 on the year, game 2 in about 30 minutes.
