BB: LEC: Little East Conference

wordsmith · March 28, 2008, 07:05:26 PM

Eye-see where the KSC-TEE tilt this weekend is garnering a lot of votes on the Home page Poll. All this national attention on the New England area D-III baseball.

Keene received about 3-4" of snow today. I assume CT got rain?? So let the games begin.

I see where Southern Maine has climbed back to 8-4 after being 0-3. I am not sure of the caliber of their competition except for Williams and Suffolk (1-3). Any comments?

Keene State loses the first game of their DH with TEE by a score of 7-4. Morin threw well for the Owls giving up 5 runs in 6 innings, but errors by KSC and timely hitting by TEE pulls this one out.

Keene State holds on for a 4-3 win in the second game and get a split with TEE.

Mabye was on his game today, Ford came in to relieve in the 8th.

Gilblair left late in the game with what appeared to be a hamstring. Hope he is OK, best wishes to him. Tough competitor, great ball player.

Coach Howe and Coach Testerone sleep well tonight.

Keene wins a nail bitter to force the split, a much needed win as Keene did not want to start 0 and 2, ford a little shakey on the save but gets the job done! So week 1 thoughts?

Splitting with Eastern at Eastern is a real good start. Most teams in the LEC would take a split with them anytime. Keene was hurt by errors today. They can't give up extra outs. I hope Gilblair is ok. He got hit on his hand by a line drive early and then whatever it was with his leg. He just executes so well in all aspects of the game.

I listened over the ECSU net and thoroughly enjoyed the DH today, except for dreadful ECSU announcers they had streaming the games. Just BAD!!

KSC has some good hitters in the line up and if Maybe et al continue to pitch well Keene will have a very competitve team at the national level.

As I continue to comment ( whine maybe now) on these threads, poor defence is a killer, and for any fan VERY frustrating, Never the less a great first week-end match-up for what I think are the two main contenders for the LEC Championship

Shaun, Hope all is OK with your leg!! If we lose SG, it could be a long season!!!!

Sorry to hear the announcers were bad. The games were pretty awesome games so early in the year. Had a little playoff feel to it. These two teams really like playing each other. They know it's going to be a battle every time out. The weather was even half decent. Shawn did pull a his ham on the single in the eight. But the hit he took on his bare hand in the first was bad. I have no idea how he pitched that game. If you saw his hand after the game. His condition is day to day. I'm sure he will sit against WCSU on Monday. Real good games.

They can hit but pitching is iffy....I mean after 14 games the ERA is 4.92(but 23 unearned runs) but they are hitting as a team .368 with some pop...Time will tell, looks like they won't have a home game until April 12...

KSCfan · March 31, 2008, 11:09:22 AM

Other than the Keene Eastern split the other conferance games where all sweeps with USM, RIC, and UMB all getting sweeps. I know its early but do one of these three teams sneak up on Keene and Eastern and win the regular season? OF the three that swept i think that USM has the best shot at overtaking Keene and Eastern, but their pitching has been real iffy.

Oh and Jcon 7 and 9 is hardly worth a smiley face animation. Epically when have a loss to Albertus Magnus who should be playing in a division 9 is there is one cause they are that bad.

Jcon8958 · March 31, 2008, 01:01:33 PM

Yes i know but they are streaking rite now and the loss to albert magnus loss is well embrassing but they have won 5 straight and they got a gtreat test coming up this weekend @Econn to see wat there really made of.

Tyhe conference again is strong up and down with i would say about 5 teams that could get hot come tourney time again and get the auto bid.

Gonna be fun

KSCfan · March 31, 2008, 02:35:14 PM

Jcon your right about a team getting hot around tourny time. I hope that Conway can shut down eastern next week and have umb take 1 from eastern. Anyone got a score from the Eastern Western games today and if Gilblair played? I hope he can recover soon, like watching him battle. Nice to see Keene beat Gilblair yesterday as they can "get that monkey off thier back" Espo was very good for eastern on sunday as well, perhaps returning to freshman year form???

jcon, I was wondering when you were going to reappear with your unbounded optimism and unquestioning devotion.

Jcon8958 · March 31, 2008, 06:36:24 PM

Hahahaha it was only a matter if time boys.......

And the Econn Wconn gane got canceled this afternoon do to rain.

I'd personally like to see the outcome of this weekends game between RIC and USM before making any decisions on who could be an upsetter in the conference. I believe both teams could be a spoiler either way. Statistically they seem very comparable at this time. Should be a great season in the Little East.
