Was it pitching or defense?

We need some pitching! Not sure who can get the job done.

Western improves to 10-9 (2-2 LEC) with a 17-11 victory in game 2 over the Plymouth state Panthers.  Billy Armstrong got the win in game 1, and a save in game 2.  Western is back in action Tuesday afternoon against state and LEC rival Eastern Connecticut.  Game time is slated for 4 PM.

Keene split with UMD this weekend, and then beat up on Babson pretty good today. 

1.  Keene should of beat UMD for two on sat.  This might be a huge loss for them as it puts them at 2-2 and they have not played Boston, Eastern, or Southern Maine yet.  Loses like this make it hard to hose the tourny at the swamp.  But, i am not that worried yet.  It just puts a little more pressure on sat games.  The sticks were hot in game 1 but couldnt stop UMD from scoring.  Game 2 they rallied in the top of the tenth and got 2 for the split. 

2.  Keene beat Babson today to improve to 15-6.  That is a pretty darn good record at just about the half way point of the year.  Good win for the owls today, babson is a good team and it always helps to have quality in region wins.

One thing to not also, everyone is 2-2 in the conference except eastern 4-0 and Plymouth 0-4   Another crazy year in the LEC. Eastern still has to play Keene and UMB, Keene still has to play UMB, Southern, and Eastern....

Eastern in the driver seat but still long way to go should be exciting rest of the year

Would be nice for Western to shrink the gap a little by beating Eastern Tuesday but I'm not going to hold my breath.  I'd like our chances better with Armstrong pitching though.
