BB: Regionals (New England) Harwich '08, '11, ECSU '09, '10

[Hobbesy]

Just added three more teams to the interview list.  Worcester St and UMass Boston decided not to practice today so I will try and grab them tomorrow.  Wheaton is just entering the gym now to begin their workout and I will post their interviews after they are done. 

Rain is suppose to taper off tomorrow.  Could push the start of the tournament back a bit but they should be ok.

Hobbesy--

How do I get to the regional page from the little east website? I know there was a link posted on one of these boards, but I can't seem to find it. And also, does it have any information about the status of tomorrow's opening games?

[Hobbesy]

Here it is:

Dont know yet but it is looking better.  They may have to push the start time of the first game back an hour or so if it doesnt clear out totally.

Some Picks

Tufts University vs. St. Joseph's College DeGoti trumps Murray in a Pitcher's duel

Wheaton College vs. University of Massachusetts Boston -Wheaton shakes off early rust and rallys to down gritty Beacon squad

Western New England College vs. Westfield State College Last meeting was a 19-5 rout by Westfield; WNEC takes an early lead and never looks back in this one

Eastern Connecticut State University vs. Worcester State College  EConn holds serve and more with over matched Worcester Team.

[ecfaninri]

I am not sue any other regional is going to have the coverage that the NE Regional is going to have. I have had the pleasure of going to three previous regionals - 2007 in Harwich on Cape Cod, 2008 the Auburn regional, and last year in Mansfield. For those of you who can make it on Wednesday and Thursday, there is so much action, excitement, and the NCAA does a great job. However, if you can't make it - the Little East Conference puts on quite a show and with Hobbesy as a "sideline reporter" no other regional can compare.

Hobbesey.... great coverage - but I wouldn't expect anything else from you. Must have been tough interviewing Coach H. knowing him better than anyone.

The V-8 is pulling away from the 4 banger.

EConn 10 Worcester St 3 top of the 7th.

Keene State is in a real pitchers duel leading Skidmore 1-0 in the Top of the 8th.

[LEC Fan]

Keene out duels Skidmore to advance in the NY Regional 1-0

[wordsmith]

YeeHaw dang near spit out my teeth.

Watching the gamecast when Mendall walked and advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth

KSC's Nelson, Lacourse, Q-Man and Vogt pitched a whale of a game, as did the Brucato kid from Skidmore.

[LEC Fan]

Knew it was going to be a battle for Keene as Skidmore had one of the best pitching staffs in the country. Have to give Nelson and Keene's staff credit for stepping up for a big game 1 victory. Hopefully they can heat up the bats a little bit and carry the pitching into the rest of the tournament.

The live stats give me anxiety with the automic refresh and time in between hitters ...I wish they had the NE coverage in NY!

Go Owls!
