Little East Conference recently issued the following announcement.
The Eastern Connecticut State University baseball team climbed one spot to No. 3 in this week’s edition of the 2022 D3baseball.com Poll, while UMass Boston is among the team receiving votes for the first time this season.
The Warriors improved to 8-1 for the season after going 4-1 in Florida last week, posting a pair of blowout wins over Wisconsin-Stout (20-3 and 24-9) in addition to defeating Skidmore (11-6) and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (7-6). Eastern wrapped up the trip with an 8-1 loss to Bethel, which is among the teams receiving votes in the poll.
The Beacons are off to a 7-2 start to their season after taking three-of-four games at Concordia (Texas) last week. UMass Boston won the first two games by final scores of 4-3 and 7-2, and called the trip with a 12-5 victory.
The Warriors will take on Nichols and Westfield State in non-league action this week before opening the LEC portion of their slate with a home twin bill versus Castleton. The Beacons will face Johnson & Wales and Salve Regina in non-conference action this week before hosting a LEC doubleheader against Western Connecticut Saturday.
