YA, Boy

Any news on the Tufts vs. Williams Game i Know it was close in the 8th...finall????

JustAFan

Tufts wins 14-12. Degoti pitches two and a third for the win. Bowdoin eliminates Wesleyan and now leads Williams 2-1 in the third. The winner plays Tufts in what might be a 7 inning title game given the late hour.

Brockport St. winning the SUNYAC tournament could really change the outlook of the NCAA tournament as well as the at-large bids.  Cortland pretty much guaranteed an at-large bid in New York and that could mean Castleton would come to New England if they win NAC/NEAC as opposed to possibly being shipped to NY if Cortland had one.

This also means NE might miss out on an extra at-large

Great day of baseball in New England.  Not done yet as Westfield-Bridgewater still playing.  Will update once that game is complete.

Hobbesy, I enjoy your posts and your contributions to the boards.  You have a high degree of credibility for fans who try to gain info on the region.

As I look at Pool C bids, I try to see if the best team in each region will be selected in the Top 15.

After those 8 bids are given, then I try to find the next 7 best.  That means that Cortland and the LEC runner-up are probably "locks".

I wonder how many New England Pool C's will be selected.  Is the second New England Pool C bid one of the best 15 in the country?

Ralph,

I appreciate that.

As for your line of reasoning, Westfield St. (if they dont win MASCAC) may fall within that category and gain an at-large bid. 

I wish I had more knowledge of the rest of the country (I dont want to make an uninformed guess) to say if another region may get more than one Pool C. 

But in my opinion, Westfield is the next best team in New England if they dont their conference.

I think that Westfield and the LEC runner-up make 2 solid Pool C bids.  I am very hesitant to get fans hopes up for a third Pool C bid.

As for the rest of the country, with reasonable effort, I think that you will get there in about 2-3 seasons  (2012 or 2013).  As you follow the Regionals and the Championship Series, then the names and faces will be begin to come together.

Anybody have a list of pool C teams in New England that have an argument to get in?

all NE Team...

you missed Melendez from JWU.  hit over 420, 12 HR, 14 doubles, 45 RBI's and 43 Runds Scored. slugging over 730 and OBP near 50%.

Could easily be in the running for an All-American spot too.

Worcester St. wraps up the MASCAC with a 3-2 win over top-seeded Westfield St.  The Lancers are dancing and the Owls are left waiting for a possible at-large bid.

I just want to echo Ralph's comments. I enjoy your posts and your well thought out posts on here and your blog. Great source for NE info.  Keep it up!!

Hobbesy

Thanks Stump.  Appreciate the kind words.

Castleton and Worcester claim bids and that leaves LEC as conference to name champion

Wanted to mention my buddy Reid Jackson.  Former Suffolk pitcher who is currently pitching overseas in Germany.
