3 ECSU pitchers no hit Keene St for a 11-0 7 inn win and clinch #1 seed and will host the LEC Tournament beginning May 13 at the Mansfield Baseball Stadium.
Eastern will close out the regular season at UM Boston for a DH on Sat.

Unless, this snippet from the USM site is wrong ECSU will host one of the 3 team pods and if they emerge from the pod (they will):  will host the best of 3 championship


Regular season play will conclude for both baseball and softball by May 9th and will be followed by a new tournament format brought on by Covid-19 concerns.  Both sports will feature six-team, double elimination tournaments.  However, this year, initial play will be held in two, three-team pods, hosted by the number one and two seeds.  The two winners of the pods will then play a best of three for the championship.  Softball is experiencing one of their best seasons ever and currently holds a 25-2-1 record.  The Huskies are first in the LEC with an 11-1 record and recently received a mention in the national rankings.  Baseball is currently 21-8 and 9-4 in the LEC; the Huskies are currently in third place behind Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island College and have split games with both teams in league play.  At this writing, the Huskies remain ranked in the top 25 in the nation.  The LEC softball tournament is scheduled to begin on May 11th, baseball is scheduled for a May 13th star

ECSU sweeps UMass Boston today up in Monen Park to wrap up their regular season. Billy Oldham and Aiden Dunn pitched well with excellent backup from the bullpen.  John Parker in particular did a nice job in relief!! 
UMass Boston does a nice job with their live stream production with the 3 field cameras, instant replay, and Seth Orensky does a pretty good job with the play by play, when he sticks with describing the players, the game statistics, game progress  however, Seth is one of these coulda, woulda, shoulda guys with respect to rationalizing UMB's poor offensive/defensive performance..... which is annoying!

USM swept Castleton State (9-21) again today with 8-1 and 9-5 victories: USM is now 27-8

John Parker come on in long relief of Josh Vincent yesterday and pitched magnificently together with Bryan Albee and closer Nathan Furino to hold the UMass Boston Beacons scoreless over 5 innings allowing ECSU to overcome a 6-0 deficit for a 7-6 LEC Conference Tournament win.  Eastern will play at 4:30 pm Saturday May 15 vs the winner of a second UMB and UMD elimination contest to determine who goes to the 3 game LEC championship series.  USm survived a close contest with a torrid RIC team who had won 18 of 19 games prior to meeting USM.  Rhode Island College and Castleton State will play an elimination game to see who meets the Huskies in the other pod championship.
