Beacons win game 1 16-10

[AllStar]

Keene State and Eastern Connecticut split the doubleheader as most predicted.  Warriors take the first game, 13-4.  Owls take a fiery Game 2, 8-7.  Keene State is 17-6 and 3-1 in the conference.  Eastern is 15-5 and 3-1 in the conference.  Owls could gain some national respect (along with Eastern) in the next poll with the 17-6 record.

I love when Keene plays Eastern.  The games are always close, tense, and a battle.  There is no love loss between the two programs that goes back for some years now.  (see NE Regional from 2007 to present)  I would say both programs respect each other but whenever the two teams lock it there is fireworks.  I would actually put these games as the best to watch in the LEC.

As far as the games go.... Keene lost a golden chance to sweep Eastern and put themselves in the driver seat.  They did bounce back however in game 2 and came from behind.  Word good post before picking what would happen, cause a lot of it came true.  That being said, a split is fine for both teams.  Keene is 17-6 and should move into the regional rankings, and i would think the receiving votes section of the national poll.  Eastern will stay nationally ranked and both teams have busy weeks ahead.  Keene plays WNEU on wednesday this week, Plymouth on Tuesday, and i think Westfield on Thursday. 

My question to the board is....... we are 4 games into the LEC schedule, who will win the reg season conference, and host the tournament?  My pick is Keene, but that should not be a surprise.

A little early still.  Can't rule out Rhode Island yet either.
Eastern has been the class of that conference for a while now so I have to call them the favorite.

Yep, the KSC Owls sure got some national attention alright. They ended up with the same number of votes as Amherst and 1 more vote than Southern Maine.

Big game today for the beacons going up to USM try to get above .500 in LEC play. Beracons have won 5 out of 6 should be 6 straight but let that one vs WNEC get away. The thing I am starting to see about this team is there short memory they lost 3 straight last week go on to win there 2 games early in the week. Lose a heartbreaker to WNEC then bounce back to win there next 3. Good quality to have this young team is coming together and they are HUNGRY

Final    UMB.    6      USM.   5....USM. Falls to. 11-11(3-2 in the LEC)....

Keene State beats Plymouth State 9-2 to improve to 18-6 and 4-1 in the conference.

[ECSUalum]

Eastern loses to WCSU 10-7.  Nice clutch bullpen by Western to hold on to win.  On the other hand if ECSU doesn't sort out the high number of walks the pitching staff is giving up, and the overall relief pitching, it will be a loooong season and they will be watching the NCAA NE Regional from the ECSU Baseball Stadium bleachers!!!!  Holowaty should have left Pendergast in longer, as the bullpen did not get a 1-2-3 out inning the rest of the game !!!!!!!!!!!

[Jcon8958]

UMB takes care of USM 6-5 today. Look I am not here to jump on coaches for the way they manager there teams. But in the 9th inning with 1 out Ben Ives was brought into the game nd he pitched 8 full innings on Saturday let up 5 runs sso I would say it pretty safe to assume he through over 100 pitches pretty easily. My question is this how do you bring back a guy to throw again 2 days after he throws 100 plus pitches to close out a game??

[owlsnest]

Owls get another great midweek start from Nick Winn. 7 strong (threw 5 against Amherst for the win last week).

Owls will take on WNEU or WNE as they like to be called now...tomorrow at 3:30

Oh and Western's home-run style offense got it done today! They still trump the LEC in homeruns...good work by the bullpen as I'm watching the archived broadcast on littleeast.tv

Thats what conference baseball is all about
