Good Play - Bad Play - Play-by-Play

Former Notre Dame West Haven baseball and football standout Conor Keniry  is having a fine freshman year at Wake Forest. Keniry as set a couple of Fr. marks including stolen bases (10) and most impressively walks (23). It show that Keniry is being patient at the plate. He is batting .214 with 11 RBI. Conor has been solid in the field also, he as committed just 4 errors in 39 games at second base.

Keniry helped propel the Deacon Demons to there first  .500 ACC season since 2006.  They play Virginia in round one of the ACC playoffs on Wednesday May 25 at Durham Bulls Baseball Park in North Carolina.

I am Boyling over  because of the collapse of the Bruins on Saturday when they allowed three goals on five shots in a span of less than four minutes to Tampa Bay in critical game 4 for of the Eastern Division Championship round.  The B’s who handled the 1-3-1 neutral zone trap during the first three games of the series didn’t make the adjustment to the Lightning changes on Saturday.

The Lightning through the first three games - set up the trap at the red-line - when they pushed it forward into the B’s half of the ice on Saturday the B’s attempted short passes through less space and as a result the transitions on turnovers had the red light flashing behind Tim Thomas.

The B’s defenseman need to be patient and reverse the flow and find the seam behind the aggressive strategy.

Great question are hockey fans in Connecticut tuned into the B’s skate for the cup or are they just thinking where are the Whalers?  How about you?

The weather has me Boyling over the top of the pot. When will Mother Nature flick the “good weather” switch? The SCC baseball tournament begins this week on Tuesday they will play four games. Two games at Quigley in West Haven and two more quarterfinal round games at Whitey Piurek Field at West Haven high school.

SportingNewsCT.com will broadcast all four games on Tuesday beginning at 4pm.
