BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[hockeyfan77]

Looks like Ryan DiPietro was released by the Royals Organization.  Pitched for the Burlington Bees in thier A Leaque last year.  If you go to his stats looks like he had some control problems

Too bad, I remember this kid all the way back to his early High School and Legion Days. Lights Out. I always thought if he could put on some weight & stay healthy he had a legit chance to make some noise at the pro level.

Tip Fairchild (USM-Astros) appears to be about the only LEC pitcher from the early 2k's left in the pros. Or did I miss someone? Serfass?

Probably because Tip was the best pitcher of the bunch IMO...He didn't have the supporting cast the other had and always had a good head on his shoulders...USM is still seraching for someone to be half the pitcher he was...Classy kid too...

USM coughed up a 5-3 8th inning lead to fall to Wheaton 6-5...USM now is 11-5... The bullpen is going to kill USM this year...

Beacons split with econn today

Conway went the distance the first game giving up 5 hits and no earned runs and he mad a great catch the saved the game for umass in the 8th with runners on 2nd and 3rd and two outs it was a pop up str8 up nobody in the field knew were the ball was then conway took off from off the mound and got to the ball near the backstop to end the inning and keep the lead 3-2

The 2nd game was another great game and could have gone either way andriano pitched great after a little bit of a shakey first Jakowski pithced well for eastern as well.

All and all cant really argue with a split if u would have told me in 2 games the would score 5 runs and have 9 hits total not to mention making 4 errors in game 1 and still walk out of there with a split i would have called u nuts. But 3-1 in confrence after 2 weeks cant really argue with that.

Sets up a couple more big games for the beacons next week wen RIC comes to town

Western has a habit of cancelling. They must have very poor drainage. They will probably reschedule when KSC has another league dblheader scheduled.

[KSCfan]

KSCer you are right, western rescheduled for next friday so Keenes week will look something like this: a game tues, thursday, 2 vs Western friday, 2 vs umd sat, and 2 against breindies on sunday.  SHould tax the pitching

[kscer]

KSCfan, Did you see that posted somewhere.?I can't find it on Western's or Keene's site.

CoachHowedidwegetthisgood? should think about changing the Brandeis DblHeader to a single 9 inning game or cancel altogether. KSC' s field is not ready and will not be for another 7-10 days or longer, depending upon this weekend's weather.

KSC's round trip travels include - 3 hrs to both Amherst amd Colby-Sawyer, 6 hrs to Worst Conn, 5+hrs to UMess-Dartmouth, and 3 hrs to Brandeis. Total bus time this week - 20+ hrs. Real Road Warriors!!

word, i know that keenes field is not playable right now, but the sat dh is suppoused to be at home.  I dont see Coach Howe going to darmouth, years past he was never big on playing home dh away at the other teams field.  What might happen is a dh like you saw against plymouth.  Some place closer than Dartmouths field.  Maybe Alumni where the swamp bats play, or maybe another "local" field that is ready.  But yes you are right, this happened to keene last year as well, they are true road warriors, and to be honest i think that Keene has a shot at taking 7 out of 8 of these games.  Look for whoever pitches today agasint amherst to bounce back and pitch a game on sunday.  65 sunny rest of week, hopefully stays that where here in western NH, so fields can dry out a little

I agree, but desparate people do desparate things in desparate times.

Alumni Field - the Keene High School Field still had snow on it Sunday. The high school and small college fields in Central and Western Mass are largely playable. Franklin Pierce could be a possibility
