Great find ECSUalum!

As for this week...strange things could happen  ???

http://ned3baseball.wordpress.com/

Hobbesy et al,

If ECSU does not win the LEC Tournament and does not get Pool C bid, does NCAA NE Regional still get played in Mansfield?  I checked the NCAA Handbook, and I think they can change venue if they choose to :'(

Last year the West Region was at Linfield College in McMinnville Oregon. Linfield did not make it into the regionals last year but still hosted the tournament with Linfield coaches and some players present working and prepping the fields.

A few years ago the West Region was scheduled to be played in Abilene TX at McMurry.
A few days before the start of the tournament it was rescheduled and move to Orange, CA @ Chapman due to a week long of heavy thunderstorms forecasted in Abilene, TX. The following year the regional was played in Abilene, TX. Not sure if that type of last  minute change would ever happen again but it has happen once in the recent past.
Crash,

Thanks for the info above

Hobbsey:
Was it football or slow-pitch softball? :D Awful lot of that going on this spring. The oddest part is I've also seen some of the best pitching performances I've seen in a long while and then the next game ends up being a sloppily played slugfest.

Well if this kind of play keeps up there will loads of runs scored in Willimantic this May!  When it gets nice out, the wind blows out of that place like no other!  Can you say hitting frenzy!!!

Just ask those who remember the 2007 LEC conference tournament when everything left the ballpark in that four day span!

WNEC blown away by Westfield today is quite interesting and NEWMAC sees its first upset with WPI beating Babson in game two.

Wheaton punches the first ticket to Mansfield with a big win over Coast Guard.  Tenth title in the 12 year history of the NEWMAC. 

Will be interesting to see how Wheaton plays in the final two weeks of the season as they have alot of quality opponents coming up on their schedule. 

YA, Boy

Wheaton blows through NEWMACS to earn first spot in the 2010 regionals with a rout of Coast guard in the finals...As ya, boy predicted...

I agree with Hobbsey with a big week coming for WC we could maybe see what they are really capable of as we move closer and closer to mansfield in may.

Ya, Boy

Castleton takes the regular season crown and will host the four-team tournament this weekend.  The winner of that will play the winner of the NEAC West division in a best-of-three series to determine the automatic bid.

One has punched their ticket and two more will be booking trips to Mansfield by weeks end as the GNAC and TCCC tournaments get underway Tuesday. 

It will be a great week of baseball!

So here goes - My Top 10 for New England

1. Wheaton - like Sherman they marched thru the NEWMAC
2. Tufts - took 2 of 3 vs a good Bowdoin squad
3. WNEC - we shall see what happens in The CCC
4. EConn - getting healthy, getting scary #4 with a bullet good wins over Trinity, Wesleyan, RIC over shadow the Suffolk & Plymouth St. losses
5. St. Joe's - win streak stands at 8 with a sweep of USM this year
6. Curry - we shall see what happens in The CCC
7. Endicott - we shall see what happens in The CCC
8. Williams College 10-1-1 since AZ Trip granted against ??? opponents
9. Suffolk - Loss to KSC snapped 6 game win streak including win over EConn
10. Trinity - Question is which team shows up
10. Keene State - 8-4 in last 12 games, am seeing signs of a good squad - consistency the key - big games vs USM @ Swamp 5/1
10. RIC - "could ah been a contenda" still could be.

Lurking - Southern Maine - I smell a run at the right time of year - hear me now 7 believe me later.

Who'd I miss Wesleyan - lost 4 last week, Bowdoin - similar results, WPI sorry Castleton State - perhaps

Looks good Word-

1. Tufts- gotta stay with the Jumbos-have won 17 of 19
2. Wheaton- NEWMAC Champs- rest of year will be true test
3. WNEC- Tough losses to Westfield and Endicott due to bad defense
4. ECSU- Responded with big win over Trin and three more from Wes and RIC
5. St. Joe's-  The Monks are one of hottest teams in New England right now
6. Curry- Have been playing better and finally getting some love
7. Bowdoin- tough week might have cost them their season
8. Williams- good pick up Word on the 10-1-1
9. Endicott- earn a share of first but will see what they are made of this week
10. Trinity- If they dont get into the NESCAC, season is over

Worcester St. blew their chance at moving up being swept by Framingham
What happened to Babson???
Suffolk on the brink
USM and Keen positioning themselves for a shot at LEC glory.

Tufts has the best combination of in-region W/L and SOS in Division III.  They're certain to have the Number 1 spot in the regional ranking this week.
A walk is never as good as a hit!

Who  is in Mansfield...????

ECSUalum

My prediction for the 8 teams playing in the NCAA NE Regional @ Mansfield CT:

ECSU wins LEC Tourney
Tufts wins NESCAC Tourney
WNEC wins CCC
Wheaton has won NEWMAC
Castleton wins NAC/NEAC
Westfield St wins MASCAC
St Joseph ME wins GNAC
Curry or Suffolk gets a pool C
