Woodstock surprised a lot of people last year when it came from just about out of nowhere to capture a share of the Eastern Connecticut Conference Large Division title.
After a close, 5-4, loss to Fitch on Wednesday in Groton, Woodstock coach Dave Austin wasn’t about to rule out another run at the title in 2010.
“I would like to say we’ll be competitive,” Austin said. “They’re a good team and we proved a lot to ourselves and (his team) proved a lot to me and I’m very happy with them. We will show up to play and compete. I would like to say we would like to defend our share of the title and that we’re more than capable of doing that.”
The coach in the other dugout, Fitch’s Marc Peluso, wouldn’t be surprised if that that happened. In fact, he feels just about anything can happen in the Large Division this season.
“It’s wide open and it’s been like that since I started three years ago,” Peluso said of the battle for the title in 2010.
It certainly appears to be that way considering the team that many thought was the team to beat, Waterford, lost with its ace on the mound on Monday. Colin O’Keefe pitched a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but tired and the Lancers fell to East Lyme, 7-4.
All I can say is, stay tuned.
