Three More 2021 Roster Spots Announced

BURLINGTON, VT --- The Division III Little East Conference Baseball playoffs beginning Thursday includes three players scheduled to play this summer with the Vermont Lake Monsters among the tournament’s top two seeds in Eastern Connecticut and Southern Maine.

That includes #2 seed Southern Maine’s outfielder Tom Vesosky, a 2018 graduate of Colchester High School, who will join fellow Vermonters Leif Bigelow and Owen Kellington as 2021 Lake Monsters. Vesosky was the Metro Division Pitcher of the Year his senior season at Colchester, going 7-1 with a 1.11 ERA, while hitting .407 (24-for-59) with 26 RBI and state-leading 23 stolen bases.

Vesosky enters the LEC Tournament on a 16-game hitting streak (27-for-67, .403) including a 5-for-5 game May 8th at Castleton. For the season, the junior is hitting a team-high .367 (36-for-98) with 25 runs, four doubles, one homer and 17 RBI in 24 games overall.

Southern Maine teammate Cam Seymour (Saco, ME) will join Vesosky in Vermont this summer. As a freshman this spring, Seymour is hitting .340 (48-for-141) with 31 runs, 16 doubles, 11 homers and 49 RBI over 35 games. That includes going 4-for-5 with a double, three home runs and eight RBI March 25th vs. UMass-Dartmouth and 3-for-6 with two homers and 4 RBI May 6th vs. Plymouth State.

Top-seeded Eastern Connecticut’s contribution to the Lake Monsters is sophomore pitcher Billy Oldham (Brookfield, CT), who enters the LEC Tournament 4-0 with a 3.28 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 46.2 innings over nine games pitched (all won by ECSU).

More players will be announced over the next couple of weeks ahead of Vermont’s inaugural Futures Collegiate Baseball League debut May 27th at Westfield and home opener May 29th vs. the Norwich Sea Unicorns. Single-game tickets for the 2021 Lake Monsters 38-game home schedule at Centennial Field will be available soon.
