Good job, ecfaninri. Another point is that ECSU pitching leads the LEC in ERA, opposing batting average, strikeouts, and is second in saves. If their pitchers can go 6 or 7 innings and get the ball to their bullpen and their solid closer, Chris Wojick (.56 ERA, 6 saves, 31 k's in 32 innings), ECSU can go very far and be very dangerous.

Yes conway will be throwing vs ECONN on day one of the tourney and Andriano will be throwing on the second day i believe i really like this team right now they got both there aces on over a weeks rest they can very easily jump right out of the gate and win the first two. That was there problem the last 2 yers they needed to rest conway in the first game because he was on 3 or 4 days rest and they tried to steal the 1st game which they were unsuccesful doing. I really like them with Conway in game 1 then andriano in game 2. WHOLE NEW SEASON BOYS ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

DAY 1 PREDICTIONS

KSC OVER WCONN (Lot closer then ppl think i bet)
UMB OVER ECONN (There aces possible final start in college if you dnt get a win thats gotta get you jaked up)
USM OVER RIC (RIC has been scuffling no reason to think its going to stop with a hot USM team comin in)

If the becons hit they are going to be scary cause they got Conway Andriano and Michaels who pitched very well vs USM. There pitching is going to carry them but they need a few runs for that to happen.

Jcon, I respect you're prediction, but i disagree. I feel that Eastern will come out on top. ECSU will be throwing Fontaine, who has been one of their best pitchers down the stretch (including 17 K's vs WCONN, a gem vs Wheaton, and was awarded LEC pitcher of the week twice). Also, the last time Conway faced ECSU, Dewing, Gilblair, or Bass were not in the lineup. Bass became a full-time starter a few games after the UMB game and is batting 370 with 5 homeruns and 23 RBI. Gilblair and Dewing have been ECSU's most consistant hitters throughout the season and should give Conway trouble hitting in the 4 and 5 spot behind Castillo.
