BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[mainebaseball11]

I believe the tie-breaker is how the two teams faired against the #1 team, #2 team and so on. That would mean UMB and UMD split with everyone all the way down to Southern Maine, where UMB swept USM and UMD split. This would give Boston #2.

So, I think this is right

1. Eastern
2. U-Mass Boston
3. U-Mass Dartmouth
4. Keene State
5. Southern Maine
6. West Conn
7. RIC
8. Plymouth

- West Conn and RIC also split their season series, but Western beat Eastern once, giving them the edge over Rhode Island

My choice for POTY is Doyon because I think he carried a team of less talented kids. There are few players whgo have been a dominant as he has.

Can't argue with Doyon but I need to throw Mike Eaton's name out there as well...

I'm going to say Chadwick from USM for rookie of the year HANDS DOWN. .377 BA, 7 HR, 16 Doubles, 6 Triples. 30 Rbi's as well. I don't know if there will be much arguing about this one.

I think for player of the year...Walsh, Doyon and Eaton all have a shot. Eaton and Walsh are very equal numbers wise, both around .420 with 12 hr's. Doyon obviously just solid

Chadwick is one of the best players I have seen in a long time...If he stays healthy: Look out...The sky is the limit.....

Hard to believe Schult is not the POY--there isn't a league pitcher or a every day player who wouldn't like to have his numbers, and he's got them both on the mound and at bat, which makes him a rare combination in this era of specialization.

Here are the final seedings and first round playoff games per the Eastern website:

#1 Eastern Connecticut State University (11-3)
#2 University of Massachusetts Boston (8-6)
#3 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (8-6)
#4 Keene State College (7-7)
#5 University of Southern Maine (6-8)
#6 Rhode Island College (6-8)


Wednesday, May 11

Double elimination

Game 1: #6 Rhode Island College at #1 Eastern Connecticut, noon
Game 2: #5 Southern Maine vs. #2 UMass Boston, 3:30 p.m.
Game 3: #4 Keene State vs. #3 UMass Dartmouth, 7 p.m.

I'd like to know how RIC is the 6 seed and Western isn't in.  USM, RIC & West Conn were all 6-8 in conference.  In most cases, figuring out a 3 or more way tiebreaker you take the winning percentage against the 3 teams involved, take out the highest winning percentage, and work your way down to there's 2 teams left, and then go to the 2 way tiebreaker.
Since USM swept West Conn, split with RIC, and West Conn split with RIC, you'd take USM out as the 5th seed (3-4 against the 3 teams) and your left with RIC & West Conn.  West Conn and RIC split, but West Conn won 1 game against Eastern, while Eastern swept RIC.

Pretty sure in a 3 way tie it's record vs teams involved:  USM was 3-1, RIC  was 2-2  and Western was 1-3....

Southern Maine Holds Off Bates 5-4 to improve to 21-16 (6-8 in the LEC)...

Amherst upset ECSU at ECSU 11-4 today......this was a long postponed game due to weather.

[JustAFan]

No disrepect but Amherst's win was not an upset. They are legit and even $$ to win the NESCAC tournament. Their staff held a really good hitting Eastern team to 5 hits, much better than Tufts and Keene did earlier this week. They should be at or near the top of the list for at large consideration if they don't win their league tournament.

Pitcher of the Year will be Schult

Schult has dominated conference teams this year and his overall record is one of the best in the conference so I think they give him this one and he gets some hardware

Player of the Year will be Walsh

This is a very tough vote and it could end in Co-MVP's between Doyon and Walsh.  I dont think Schult will get this one even though he should be highly considered.  You give Schult the pitcher and let these two battle it out.  Walsh has been amazing the last two years and Doyon has been a four-year beast..tough decision.

Rookie of the Year will be Chadwick or O'Connell...Chadwick's numbers dwarf O'Connells but you never know
