Umass Boston's education is wicked GOOD where did they rank?!?!

Not sure but it appears they were not in the top 4 as indicated below.

The Presidents Cup trophy measures the highest cumulative grade point average of all institutions in the Little East Conference. Each athletic department calculates its student-athletes cumulative grade point average in the conference's 19 championship sponsored sports.  Plymouth State University (2.91), University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (2.85), and Western Connecticut State University (2.85) complete the top-half of the 2010-11 Little East Presidents Cup standings

If your school had a Mt. Rushmore of baseball players who would be the 4 on it?

KSC - Doyon, Ford, Luopa, Williams, others??

Southern Maine - gosh where would you start Degifico, Broughton, Delorme, Fairchild, Welch,

UMassBoston - come on UMB guys need some help here.

Eastern -

Heck I'd even like to hear from our WNEU guys.


Word

All pitchers:

John Caniera, Scott Chiasson, Ryan DiPietro, Shawn Gilblair and Coach Holowaty looking on

Interesting. No Wildmon or Serfass?

Still looking for input from KSC & USM & RIC

Those guys right behind, However, Caniera and Chiasson , Major Leagers; Dipietro, MiLB AA; Gilblair Indy, but did soo much on the offensive side as well.  Wildman, never got drafted but was a beast at the plate, and Joey Surfass was MiLB AA

Doyon, Luopa, Ford, Stromgren(career wins, era, innings pitched) Ford could be erratic but when he was on, there were none better.

UMB opens up today in FLA. While KSC dropped a pair yesterday and niether game was really close. your "ace" let up 7 runs in 4.2 innings while your number two let uo 7 in only 3.2 innings. I heard so much aboutt this 1 and 2 being the cream of the crop in this league. Chalk it up to early season jitters I SUPPOSE.

Umb up 6-0 in the sixth behind heefner! 

[SCOUT66]

Had the opportunity to talk to Michael Russo of Kean U before the Ecsu game, struggled in the first few starts, but due to  mechanic issues  which since have been tuned, comfortable sitting 89-93 with a curve, slider, change.  Watching this game Ecsu had two guys on with no outs and they fake bunt double steal, catcher gets the out at 3rd, and then back to back ground outs? Looking at the coaches for Eastern they look like Dinosaurs, What are they doing over there?

[UMB28]

Umass Boston boys win 9-7 in the season opener!!! Made 5 errors and struggled with the young bullpen.  However, a win is a win!!! Heefner looked solid on the mound giving up 0 er in 7 innings of work!  The boys are back in action tomorrow in a dbl header against Franklin & marshall @ 1:30!

I had the oppurtunity to listen to the OWLS broadcast today.  Good job as usual of the guys on the air.  It it so nice to hear the games while they are in the sunshine state.  Sounds like they have some older guys getting some at bats and into the swing of things.  Two nice wins against a GOOD Husson team after a couple of tough losses in out of region games yesterday.  Sounded like the OWL pitchers were outstanding.  Perrault taking a NO-NO into the 7th and theesing striking out like 12 in 6 innings in the nightcap.  Keep playing well from now on out.

Another uneducated post by Jconn...shocking! Wow...your baseball IQ amazes me!

As far as your 1-2 prediction...if you understood the importance of regional vs non regional games you would understand that the OWLS changed their rotation because of the way the games lined up.

As for the 2 games against Aurora....the pitching struggled, but the OWLS were in both games through 5 innings...also had 5 freshman in the line up both games.

As for the 2 games today against Husson today, (a NCAA team from last year), 14 innings, 4 hits, 19 K's 0 earned runs and 1 walk...oh and by the way Perrault carried a no hitter into the 7th...was 2 out away!

Also returned some names to the line up that you might recognize!!!!

Stay hot Jconn...you just keep proving how uneducated you really are about Little East Baseball...HOMER!

Lefthander!

[Jcon8958]

I must have been drunk when I saw you said a GOOD team. In what bizzaro world is a 1-6 team GOOD. And I know more about LEC baseball then you can only hope to learn in your lifetime. Also KSC had 5 freshman in both those games yesterday....sounds like an excuse to me because UMB had 5 new players in there today including 4 newcomers and a kid who pitched last year playing first base. And of course I cant leave without my fun fact of the day UMB finished 2nd in the LEC at 8-6 while KSC finished 4th at 7-7. BUT JCON WE WON 29 GAMES UMB ONLY WON 18. And to that I say good job you got to play 1 extra day of baseball. 

Ps- Lets hope all these "QUALITY" regional wins vs 1-6 teams keep stacking up. And im a moron hahahha a 1-6 team QUALITY.

JCONNNNN

[lefthanders]

You just keep proving my points...thank you!

Reigional wins and strength of schedule are very important criteria at the end of the year and Coach Howe makes sure the Owls have both year in and year out. When you get a chance, compare the 2 schedules....and then talk to me about 1-6. Oh, and by the way, Husson was picked to win their league....that's all the Owls can do is play the top teams from all the NE leagues.

Congrats on a 2nd place finish last year....I forgot that meant something. Is that more thing you have that KSC has....No they have finished 2nd before, so hopefully you won,t have to say that 1000 more times.

I see how you had no comments on those pitching lines for the Owls yesterday...did you understand what they mean?

On a better note....nice day for the LEC yesterday with wins for KSC, RIC, USM, UMB...ECSU lost to a very strong KEAN team with an excellent pitcher on the mound.

Should be interesting......

Thx to all for their input on the Mt. Rushmore of players from their respective schools.

So, if the LEC had a Mt. Rushmore for coaches who would you put on it? Its a given that Flaherty & Holowaty & Howe are all there, so who is the other one?

An even tougher question: which players are on the LEC Mt. Rushmore?

Below is an interesting overview of the history of the LEC and how teams have fared. Taken from their website.
