Sorry I am late to the party but a sweep today by UMB and everybody is going to be looking up at UMB. Who would have thought that.....

Heck of a first game, Keene State battles back to take an extra inning tilt 9-6 in 10.

KSC up 5-0 in the first inning game two. JCONN where should we look if KSC wins both?

Keene State leads Game 2, 14-3 in the Top of the 5th

ESCU lost two to RIC? What a conference!

[AllStar]

Keene State wins Game 2, 14-7 over UMass-Boston.

Owls are in first place with an 8-2 LEC (25-9 overall) record.  Owls have Southern Maine and UMass-Dartmouth (both at home) left on the schedule.

Rhode Island College (20-11) and Southern Maine (16-14) are tied with 7-3 conference records. KSC swept RIC, so that tiebreaker would go to the Owls.  KSC still has to play Southern Maine.

Eastern Connecticut is 6-4 in the league (22-8 overall).  The Warriors, however, lose any tiebreaker to RIC because they were swept by the Anchormen.  ECSU still has Southern Maine on the schedule.

UMass-Boston is 5-5 after being swept today.  The Beacons have now been swept by ECSU and KSC.  UMB did sweep Southern Mane, so that helps their cause.  They have Plymouth State and Rhode Island College remaining on the schedule.

UMass-Dartmouth is now 3-7, 1 game ahead of Plymouth and Western for the final playoff spot.

Plymouth State and Western Connecticut are both 2-8 in the league, and will need great finishes to qualify for the tournament.

Western loses to Eastern Tuesday 14-4; swept St, Joseph's Thursday 4-3 and 7-3 and split with Dartmouth Saturday winning game 1 18-0 and losing game 2 19-7 (with 13 of the 19 runs coming in the 8th & 9th innings).  We play Mount St. Mary Monday night.

What a wild ride its been so far this year in the LEC.  RIC sweeping Eastern, Keene one game ahead of RIC and USM, still to play USM, and the last playoff spot being battled out by three teams all with one game to play.  This is crazy!!!!  Two wins over UMB was huge for Keene if they want to host the tourny in the swamp this year. 

Bates and Morrill are wickeeeeddddd hot right now, Bates had 7 hits, 4 of them doubles on saturday as well as Morrill going 5 for 11.  I didnt make it to the games as i was out of the country, but the last couple of weeks are shaping up to be a wild ride.

Predictions for how they finish

1. Keene
2. RIC
3.Eastern
4. USM
5. UMB
6. Dartmouth

That would make a heck of a 4-5 opener!!!!

Looks like ECSU star Jim Schult's brother Jeff Shult has decided to play for Western New England vs ECSU.  I wonder if Eastern recruited him?

BTW Congrats to Keene st and Coach Howe for their national rankings... well deserved!!
