BB: CCC: The Commonwealth Coast Conference

Bill Gorman--

You heard right. WNEC was down 14-10 heading into the bottom of the ninth in a see-saw, back-and-forth, wild game. Justin Walz hit a two-out single to bring home the winning run. What a game! Tomorrow should be very interesting, as Salve always plays WNEC tough. My guess is that it will be a very high scoring game (I am not going out on a limb there  ). WNEC is going with the freshmen Jefferis on one full day of rest after pitching 7 2/3 yesterday. I'm not sure who is pitching for Salve, but either way there should be a lot of crooked numbers on the scoreboard. I will be in attendance, should be interesting!

GO BEARS!!!

Let's see...Salve has scored 14, 12, and 8 in their wins; WNEC has scored 8, 4, 12, and 15 in their wins.  Yup, definitely has the makings of a shootout.

Wow!!

I cant wait to see this game...I am going to try and make it over to this game tomorrow..

Moving out of my dorm in the morning and then stopping in Springfield on the way home to New York

Cant wait!

Good stuff Hobbesy. I will be in attendance as well. Maybe I'll get to meet the man behind all the good stuff you have done on these boards w/ interviews, scores, and in-depth analysis. I'm sure you will be the one with the clipboards and video cameras haha. I'll be decked out in all WNEC gear. Should be a great game to catch!

[Hobbesy]

GBears-

Hope to see you there.  I will have a mini-camera around my neck but no clipboard.  Will look for you.

WNEC takes home its third consecutive TCCC tournament title (5th consecutive conference title overall)!!! Winning five straight games after losing in the opening round was rather impressive. Hats off to the bears, it was well deserved. Come conference tournament time, no one seems to be better than WNEC over the past few years (along with Wheaton). I love how WNEC enters the CCC three years ago and no other team has stepped up and shown any guts to prevent what WNEC has done! As for Salve, great effort. As I mentioned before, Salve always plays WNEC well and they fought hard today, it just wasn't enough. As for the seedings for the New England regional, I can realistically see WNEC as the #1 seed. It might be a little of a biased opinion, but I feel that many others would agree. Tufts and Wheaton will both be right up there in the conversation, and if Eastern keeps winning they will be too. We shall see how the remaining conference games/tournaments shape up.

Enjoyable day today at the CCC championship.

Great day for baseball and a very good game.

Salve battled to the final out and what a gutsy performance from the WNEC pitching staff!!!

It was also nice to meet some of the WNEC posters as well as some of the other parents.  Class program.

Look forward to seeing you boys at the regionals.

And GBears-

Sorry I missed you.  Were you partying on the center field hill???  Hahaha

Hobbsey - great stuff as always, what a way to get the final out of the game. WNEC is really playing great ball over the past couple weeks and hopefully can keep that going through regionals. 5 straight conference titles between the GNAC and TCCC! Pretty impressive  . Sitting at 33-9 with a good in region game against Wheaton Wednesday could really put them at the top of the regional rankings i believe. Going to be a long two and a half weeks until regionals.

Hobbesy--

Yes I was out on the hill. Since I couldn't experience it as a player, I have to experience it as a fan now! WNEC has great fans and great people, so it was nice to be a part of it.

so what are our thoughts on the pre-season predictions of some of the TCCC teams???

[KSCfan]

Colby-Sawyer with a strong start to the season at 4-1 going into today. I know that WNEC is the favorite but could CS be a dark horse in this conference this year?

Unless Coach Broughton & Grainger have eligibility remaining and suit up for games the answer would be No!

Shave & a haircut - 2 bits?

Colby Sawyer has had some good pitching. They will be solid but they have a young team, and not very deep at some key spots. This is their last  year in TCCC, and then they move to the same conference as Castleton. I think it will be good for them down the road.

[Stump]

Yeah I could see that being a good move for their program. Except then they'll have that Maine trip to Bangor(Husson), Waterville(Thomas) and Farmington.(UMF)
