Soxfan,
Don't you mean ECSU is gunning for Kean? How does the defending national champion hang their hat on that game? I think until this thing is decided in another 40 or so games, Kean is the team with the reputation who everybody will gun for inside and out of the NJAC.

You mean to tell me that you don't think the defending champion has any games they see as big games.  That' s like saying that the Red Sox, defending champions are over looking the games against the Yankees this year.  A win over the Yankees is most certainly a game to hang your hat on.  Comparison is good because ECSU is referred to the evil empire of d3 ball in new england.

ECSU is the top team from New England and if they look back on their season they'll see a good team in Keene State, USM and others and if they beat them they'll view those as quality wins they can hang their hat on.  Not to beat a dea horse, but you see what I mean?  Kean will recognize that ECSU is a good opponant and hang their hat on it.


I am glad games are being paid finally.  Super huge speculation going on right now with the addition of the March Madness brackets coming out...!!!

Keep on swingin' playas

You know boys, middle relief and infield plays are part of the game, and if you lose because of them you have not executed part of the game, and if you win you have . And i doubt if any of these kids or their coaches think it's ok to lose.

Hey, how about those Anchormen, starting off pretty hot. Their now 7-3 after beating MIT today. Possible contenders again this year!

RIC has a big game on Thursday when they host Wheaton.

[DIII Dad]

The way RIC is playing right now this could also be considered a big game for Wheaton.

[363dp]

D3Dad, I did not mean that it was "just" RIC that it is a big game for. Both programs should know the importance of this game. Also for the conferences, with most on here feeling the LEC is the top in the country, especially in New England..................Play ball.

Anytime you play a NE game its a big game.  The regional rankings are very rarely talked about but are huge in my opinion.  A great regional ranking will get you that at large bid (see KSC 07) that some of the other teams wont get.  How do you get that regional ranking?  By beating the quality teams in NE weither its here or in Arizona, Florida, or Cali anytime you play a team in your region its huge.  It is bigger to beat a good team in your region then a top 25 national team out of your region.

Southern Maine gets whacked in their debut against william patterson.  Keene totals Albertus who might as well be a JV team.  I know right now that Eastern is struggling, but they always struggle in cali and then come back to NE with a fury.  Really looking forward to next sat when LEC play opens up, as Keene and Eastern lock up.  Keene will send Morin and Maybe to the mound.  Gilblair or ecsu alum who is ECSU thorwing?  Gilblair and the J kid who i cant pronouce? or cause of Gilblairs leg will they see Esposito?

Suffolk sweeps Southern Maine today, dropping the Huskies to 0-3 to start their season. Suffolk moves to 7-2, with a 3-0 in-region record, beating WNEC as well.

Tough game down their at Anchormen Field, Wheaton 12-RIC 10 in a game with some controversy (bad call by umpire). The Anchormen were down and seemed out going into the 7th inning (12-1) but they fought back against a tough team making it a close one. I again ask is RIC a contender this year?

[KSCfan]

RIC is a contender if and i mean if there pitching holds up.  RIC always hits the crap out of the ball but what seems to come back and bite them is thier pitching.  Rhode Island is always a very dangerous team that you do not want to run into when they are hot see LEC tourny 2005.  they seem to pitch well against mid level teams in New England, but struggle in giving up lots of runs to top tier teams.  I mean they gave 12 to wheaton.  If thier pitching improves yes they will be contenders

Santeezy, what was the bad call?  I was at the game, maybe I was shivering and did not see it. RIC did a number on the Wheaton pen, but had trouble with the starter Kostaris.

[santeezy06]

I believe it was bottom of 3rd, RIC had bases loaded 1 out when a fielders choice ball was hit up the 3rd base- line. The third baseman ran to tag third (he was playing deep behind the bag), he tags third and fires to first to attempt a dble play to get out of the inning. The umpire in the field had a bad view and called the kid running to first out although he was in the middle of the bag when the ball arrived. The stands began booing and yelling out at the call. I personally thought it was a game changing call. The next 4 innings Wheaton would score 12 runs without an answer. RIC would comeback but unfortunately without finishing.

That was a close play at first. Game changing or deciding??  Wheaton was up 4-0 at the time, would have left runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, if called safe at first. It must have been the stands booing and yelling, cause there were only a handfull of fans.  A lot of the season left and they meet again later on. Time will tell. Get you game on!
