Are you sitting down II? Good, this one's as exciting as the first one--

VA Wesleyan Final: TCNJ put a 3-spot up in the top of the 8th, only to have the home-standing Marlins put 4 up in their half to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Game Winning RBI's-Marlins' Fretz--with a 2-RBI single. And this game had been scoreless through 7-incredible!

The end of a wild day here-as if Moravian being eliminated wasn't enough--

Today's Bangor, Maine regional-- Final day

10 AM Eastern-- Game 9-- #5 seed Tufts (2-0 in the regional) vs #4 Eastern Connecticut State (2-1 in regional) (Elimination game for Eastern Connecticut State)

No earlier than Noon Eastern-- Game 10-- #5 seed Tufts (win or lose in game 9) vs #1 Husson (2-1 in regional)

(Elimination game for Husson-- it may be an elimination game for Tufts if they lose Game 9)

(If Eastern Connecticut State wins game 9, they will advance to game 11 and play the winner of Tufts v Husson for the regional championship. If Tufts wins game 9, game 10 would be the start of the Championship series with Tufts needing 1 win and Husson needing 2 wins to go to Salem, VA.

No earlier than 2 PM Eastern-- Game 11 (if Eastern Connecticut State wins game 9 or if Tufts wins game 9 and loses in Game 10).

Coverage scheduled to start at 10 AM Eastern on nsnsports.net NSN (Northeast Sports Network) is also available on Roku TV-- under the College category, hit the search button and search for Softball.

Mike Violette-- play by play for NSN (To be honest, I am not satisfied with his play by play coverage; he messes up too many times....) (i.e. he is definitely not ready for a promotion to ncaa.com play by play).

Analysts-- (Cole Hurlbert (Husson class of 2020) and Ethan Snow)-- (I do like the choice of analysts, though.)

Weather situation for Bangor, Maine-- This could be the day that we have a lot of weather delays with action being postponed to Monday due to showers and strong thunderstorms, but the weather should not prevent the regional from being completed, as tomorrow is the rain day before a winner by rain tiebreaker must be declared.

Here is the current scenario if the rest of the Bangor, Maine regional is cancelled due to weather:

(1) As of right now, Tufts is the last remaining unbeaten team and has the rain advantage to Salem, VA.

(2) If Game 9 is completed before the rain is cancelled and Tufts loses Game 9, then Husson would get rain advantage as the highest remaining seed.

(3) If both games 9 and 10 are completed with Tufts losing in game 9 and Husson being eliminated in game 10 before a weather cancellation of game 11, then Eastern Connecticut State would advance to Salem, VA as the highest remaining seed.

As a Brandeis fan, I don't believe this!

Brandeis just defeated Eastern Connecticut, 10-9, with 6 runs scored in the bottom of the 7th!

Bottom of the 7th-- Brandeis scored 6 runs on 5 hits with 1 E. Conn fielding error.

Brandeis will play Tufts at noon, but I am still stunned!

E. Connecticut now plays Husson in the first scheduled early game elimination.

Unfortunately, my town has its annual open New England town meeting tomorrow, so I won't be able to be on the computer much tomorrow, as I have to be at the Canton, MA high school football field tomorrow afternoon to vote on the town meeting articles for the upcoming fiscal year. (In accordance with COVID-19 protocols, it is an outdoor meeting. The Massachusetts state of emergency is scheduled to end on June 15.)

Congrats, Brandeis never gave up!!

Unfortunately, the Brandeis bats could not get much in the way of hits yesterday (Saturday), so all the Friday win did was postpone Brandeis's elimination from the NCAAs by about 7 hours (and get Brandeis an extra game vs Tufts yesterday...)

One thing Eastern Connecticut knows how to do is survive a lot of elimination games and place themselves in a position to win the regional.... Big one today to start with ECSU v Tufts in a rematch of the 2019 first weekend regional final in Medford, MA.
