Scores
Bourne 4, Brewster 0
Cotuit 10, Harwich 8
Wareham 6, Hyannis 3
Orleans 3, Falmouth 0
Chatham 7, Y-D 7
Bourne, 4, Brewster 0 (five innings)
Bourne to 8-3-1, Brewster to 6-6
- Bourne's Ben Guez (William & Mary) had a two-run home run in the first and a two-run home run in the second to propel the Braves
- The game ended after five due to rain
- Bourne's Brad Gemberling (Princeton) allowed just one hit in four scoreless innings, while Jesse Haney (UNC-Wilmington) tossed a scoreless inning of relief
- Josh Workman (Wichita State) scored two runs for Bourne
Of note, player-style: Guez wasn't on the active roster when the season began, but he's sure to get a spot when rosters are finalized. The 6-foot, 175-pound outfielder is hitting .318 and is second in the league in RBI with 13. This year, as a sophomore for William & Mary, he hit .270.
Cotuit 10, Harwich 8
Cotuit to 7-5, Harwich to 3-9
- Neither team helped itself on the mound or in the field -- they combined for six errors, and pitchers allowed 21 hits
- Cotuit used a six-run fourth to blow the game open
- Cotuit leadoff man Tony Delmonico (Tennessee) went 3-for-5 with three RBI
- Harwich shortstop Cole Figueroa (Florida) went 4-for-5
- Cotuit's Christian Staehely (Princeton) got the win
- Harwich starter Danny Farquhar (La.-Lafayette) allowed eight runs in five innings, but only two were earned
Of note, player-style: With a .417 average, Figueroa is now leading the league. The shortsop has the makings of a pretty big-time prospect. He was a ninth-round pick out of high school in Tallahassee last year, but opted to attend Florida. He hit .332 in this his freshman season, and he's making an even bigger splash now.
Wareham 6, Hyannis 3
Wareham to 2-10, Hyannis to 5-6
- Wareham finally ended its 10-game losing streak
- The Gatemen scored three in the top of the first and never trailed
- Wareham shortstop Beamer Weems (Baylor) went 3-for-5 with three RBI and is now hitting .351
- Six players in the Hyannis lineup had hits, but that wasn't enough for a rally
- Wareham starter Jeremy Bleich (Stanford) allowed three runs in five innings in his first start
- Reliever Collin McHugh (Berry College), who has also been with Chatham this summer, pitched three scoreless innings of relief
- The loss was the third straight for the Mets
Of note, player-style: Wareham's Ike Davis (Arizona St.), who's been at the College World Series, made his debut and went 1-for-4 in the DH spot. Davis is 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, and hit .349 with eight home runs for the Sun Devils.
Orleans 3, Falmouth 0
Orleans to 8-4, Falmouth to 4-8
- Four Cardinals combined on a two-hit shutout -- Michael Schwimer (Virginia), Eric Surkamp (NC State), Ryan Perry (Arizona) and Nick Christiani (Vanderbilt)
- Falmouth's Aaron Crow (Missouri) was the hard-luck loser. He allowed just a run in six innings
- Orleans got a solo home run in the first by Dennis Raben (Miami) and two insurance runs in the eighth
Of note, player-style: Schwimer improved to 2-0 and he hasn't yet allowed a run in 10 innings. He has struck out 12, walked five and allowed just four hits. He's been almost exclusively a reliever at Virginia, but he's clearly being stretched out a little more now. With size that scouts will have to notice -- 6-foot-7 and 210 pounds -- he's someone to watch. A junior, he was eligibile for the draft this year but wasn't picked.
Chatham 7, Yarmouth-Dennis 7
Chatham to 7-4-1, Y-D to 8-3-1
- Chatham was well on its way to tying the Red Sox for first place, but the bullpen blew a 7-1 lead
- Y-D got six runs on six hits in the bottom of the eight, just before the game was called due to darkness
- Jason Castro (Stanford) hit a three-run home run to provide the big blow
- Chatham starter Charles Brewer (UCLA) allowed just two hits in six scoreless innings. He's allowed only one run in two starts
- Chatham's Jeff Lorick (Virginia) was charged with six runs in 1.1 innings
Of note, player-style: Castro, the starting catcher for Y-D, is hitting .385, which puts him fourth in the league. Castro was a big prospect coming out of high school and has a solid freshman season. But this spring in his sophomore year, he struggled and finished with a .167 batting average. Whatever adjusments he made appear to be working.
