BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

Western Connecticut is currently playing a double header vs UMass Dartmouth at the ECSU baseball stadium.  UMD has taken the first game 10-6, and WCSU is leading 10-3 in the second game after 4 inn.  WestConn was originally scheduled to play Keene St, however Keene was in Mansfield yesterday and Coach Howe did not want to play 4 games in 2 days.  This is what the weather in March has done to New England team schedules

[Old Man]

I heard from some of the OWL players that Coach Howe had gotten the use of Franklin Pierce last Tuesday to play the Saturday DH at 5 PM at FPU - but Coach Susi couldn't get his admin. to OK the travel?       Not sure why?  You have an opportunity to play and keep schedule intact and cant do it?  Why didn't UM-Boston and WCSU play yesterday on the scheduled day?    Anyone know (have an answer) as everyone else in LEC played yesterday.  There had to be some field in Danbury or Boston available.

ECSU sweeps Plymouth St 5-2 and 5-0.  Plymouth's field was unplayable so they came to the Mansfield Sports Complex and were the home team.
Beautiful day today sunny and 70 F in Mansfield CT.
Great pitching today from the ECSU staff, with Greg Porter getting the win in the first game and Pat O'Neill in the second

ECSU .....see our teams play today...rare Monday game...at the Amherst field.  Amherst is led by its pitching again.  Seems your team also has fine pitchers.   Should be a good game.  Hope to catch it on the webcast from Amherst.

amh63,
Yes I am planning on tuning into the Jeffcast this afternoon!!  ECSU on a 13 of 14 game winning streak and as you mentioned pitching very well.  Looks like the Lord Jeffs have another strong team this year.  Best of Luck to them in the NESCAC this year.  I also see Tufts, (who we play 4/28), ranked in the D3baseball polls and Wesleyan doing very well.  We didn't schedule the Cardinals this year and have already played Trinity in Florida earlier this year with respect to NESCAC opponents.
Hope all is well after another outstanding Anherst Basketball season, and thanks for your post.

We do play Wesleyan , last game of season

ECSU.....Amherst was not competative in all aspects after the first 2 innings.  Your team played liked the Red Sox against a little league team on Hitchcock field.  I left the game after the 4th inning with the score 16-0.

Went to the Softball game at Wellesley.  My granddaughter is watching on-line....want her to see how girls swing the bat, etc.  Her father is trying to interest her in a team sport.  Me....basketball   She is going to be a tall girl.

Yeah amh63, however after the 5th, I think, the LJ relief pitching did very well and held the Warriors, while Amherst scored 5.  Final 18-5.
Just one of those days for Amherst!  Any team can have them on any given day!!

Maybe your granddaughter will eventually play for the Lady Lord Jeffs softball or basketball,  LAX or other teams

[amh63]

Thanks for your thoughts wrt to my granddaughter.  Yes, I have high hopes for her to be a lady Jeff.  Heck, I will be happy to have her be admitted.  Presently, she likes the water.  The Ithaca area has very good swimming programs.  The area schools have sent All-American Level Swimmers to the conference.  One recent Ithaca graduate and a Williams graduate won around 9 NCAA titles .
There were and are several very good swimmers on Amherst teams.  Plus K
