BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

Did I just hear the announcer say "he's from War-ches-ter, Mass"? Dude isn't it Woosta?

That would be Colin Henry....

Ha - Very good announcer, not so good 'pro-nouncer". Seriously the announcers are doing a very good job. Enjoying the broadcasts. Thanks LEC & USM et al.

Only problem was half the time they didn't know which team was at bat and which in the field ! !

USM losses to Plymouth State 3-2 today to fall to 23-17....



Next up for USM:  Thursday May 10 @ 9:30   U-Mass Boston

LEC Tourney: I got the impression the tomorrow (Thursday) is going to be a wash and we will pick up where we left on on Friday....

[KSCfan]

How would that impact teams staff?  Would it allow people who threw today to come back on short rest in a championsip game on sunday?  That extra day might impact the pitchers and how teams use them.

Good news friday, saturday, sunday all look to be good days

If Danny O'Connell continues improving at the current rate in his Jr and Sr years, I predict he will be drafted in 2014.  I think the key will be his improvement in fielding %, as the kid WILL end up hitting .400+ over the next 3 years!!!.  Very very composed for a sophamore and stung one of the LEC's best pitchers today!!!
I hope Evan Chamberlain picked up some confidence today, as he is a very good pitcher. His nasty breaking ball saved the Warriors from defeat today.
Commuso came up huge today, which he needs to continue as the Senior captain!!!
Still, too many base on balls, any other good hitting team, ( or just with a little luck) would have cashed in on  4 or 5 of the 14 RIC LOB and won this game!!!  It amazes me how Eastern pitching continues to either give up hits to players with low BA in the 8-9 slots and or when they get on via base on balls!!!!

Looks like a start time of 1 today with the hopes of getting just games 4 and 5 in today....So Eastern and Keene will be the first game tomorrow....

So 1 team goes home for sure today and possibly 2 depending upon results.

Who heads home?
UMB
USM
RIC

I think USM and RIC go home for the season today, if they play.

[hockeyfan77]

Final      USM.   5     UMB.     2

Final      USM.   5     UMB.     2

No lights really throws a wrench into this Tourney. Not sure who will benefit and who will suffer but in the end someone will experience both ends of this. Wanna speculate who benefits?

[hockeyfan77]

Depends on how many teams are still left after this game....If there is still 5 I thinks it really helps ECSU and KSC....4 teams left: it's a toss up...

Oops. maybe UMB and RIC will go home today.

Unfortunately for DIII infielders, the bar is set high on to project and draft them.  #11 for ECSU is undersized, doesn't have the speed per foot, arm strength is far below average, no power in his swing, that will take you to graduation hopefully in four years but that is about it.  If the case were 6'3 195lb and he's 87-91 from SS with good backspin on the ball hitting now that is a different story, great example is 6 miles down the road last year with Nicholas Ahmed from Uconn, great pick for the Braves organization

Just 1.  I think RIC ends up beating Plymouth.
