Upset maybe brewing ??? in Connecticut. KSC downs ESC 6-3. Evil Empire's first in-conference loss this season after going 17-0; curse of the 17's again.

Mike Cook - seldom used pitcher for KSC (13 innings this year) came on in relief with 1 out in the first inning and held EConn to 2 runs. He left with 1 out in the eighth. Quite a performance given the supercharged offense EConn has shown this tourney.

If necessary game begins at approx. 5pm EST Links above. First one for the Owls; second one for the Empire.

EConn wins in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs and 2 on. Gilblair singles in O'Toole with the winning run.

Keene State had their chances. 8th and 9th innings both KSC had a runner at 3rd with 1 out.

8th inning Coach Holywater shows his coaching skills by pitching out on the second pitch of the at bat and foiling a suicide squeeze. 9th inning KSC has man on third 1 out, after 2 pitchouts batter Pete Hall lifts a fly ball to shallow right field. Coach How? sends Jones and the EConn kid throws a strike to nail him at the plate.

There were also some umpiring issues including a foul bunt call which took a hit away from KSC. I can't wait to hear KSCer's take on the umpires.

Congrats to EConn.

EConn is solid, but KSC is as well. I truly hope the NCAA awards KSC an at large bid.

KSC should get one IMO...Almost coming back from the losers bracket and winning it, should get them into the tourney...

The umpiring was as usual poor. The call in question concerned a double hit on the bat while the batter was in the box. Except no one saw it until Holywater brought it up and Cooney said it happened. He had them cowering at this point. His real genius move as a coach was walking KSC's #4 hittter to pitch to Ford with a runner on third one out eigth inning... and the the failed squeeze.

Keene State will be a formidable team to watch in the coming years.

Also hope they get an at large bid as well, they deseve it. ;D

That freshman Cook was IMPRESSIVE in first game
Good luck to all in the NCAA regionals!!

I have Keene State in...they were #4 in the region before the tournament and can't have really hurt that. I think if you're in the top half of your region and you're not in a terrible region (defined: New York, the Central is actually looking stronger than usual this year, and may be able to fill all 6 slots, though one will probably go to the Midwest), then you've got a pretty good chance.

Mike Cook is a senior, sad to say. Pitched 56 innings in his entire 4 year career up to yesterday's game.  Mike Riley is a frosh.

Mike has been a reliever. Yesterday, he stepped up, as did Riley the Freshman.Everybody should remember that the only senior position starter is the catcher. Thet will all be back, along with some impressive young pitchers.

This NCAA regional could be interesting. KSC should have beaten Wheaton. Ford"s elbow snapped and he lost velocity to give up the tying run. A bad bounce sealed their fate in the tenth. They played Eastern straight up or better in three of the four games they played. They had three games canceled which could easily have given the 32 wins going in. Two of the Keene kids played in a 13 year old Babe Ruth regional at Whitehouse field. Laplante , the Wheaton catcher, played for Harwitch, and got beaten by Keene. Oh the threads that weave through this sport. Great Weekend coming up.;

At least it wasn't the umpiring.

EConn is nearly as good as their last National Championship team a few years back. They won the Regionals going away even with Hobbes slumping until the very end of the tourney. Gilblair is the real deal, Castillo is the show and Re is very solid. Their pitching staff is solid and deep; their defense is above average. They out scored their opponents 40-9 in 4 games in the Regionals.

EConn is like a diesel engine. You might stay with them for a while but they will eventually wear you down, wear you out and beat you.

I expect them to match-up quite well against anyone in the Nationals.
