Scores
Cotuit 11, Brewster 10
Falmouth 8, Harwich 2
Orleans 3, Hyannis 1
Chatham 5, Wareham 2
Bourne 4, Y-D 3
Cotuit 11, Brewster 10
Cotuit to 6-4, Brewster to 6-5
- Except for three players, everybody in the starting lineups for both teams had a hit.
- Cotuit scored five in the eighth inning to get the victory.
- Reese Havens (South Carolina), Ryan Lollis (Missouri) and Ryne White (Purdue) had three hits apiece.
- Both teams used four pitchers. Jordan Meaker (Dallas Baptist) came on in relief and pitched an inning for the win.
- Brewster's Brad Glenn (Arizona) had five RBI, thanks largely to a first-inning grand slam.
Of note, player-style: Brewster's Yonder Alonso (Miami) continued his steady play. He went 2-for-4 and is now hitting .316. He's a pretty big prospect who's not disappointing.
Falmouth 8, Harwich 2
Falmouth to 3-7, Harwich to 3-8
- Falmouth's Christian Friedrich (Eastern Kentucky) struck out 12 in five innings, for his second win of the season. Over two starts, he's pitched 10 inning and struck out 19 without allowing a run.
- Christian Friedrich is the real deal, I'd say.
- Falmouth's David Adams and Jeremy Farrell (both from Virginia) had two RBI
- Harwich's Chris Dominguez (Louisville) went 2-for-4 in his second game since arriving from the College World Series
- Falmouth's Matt Hague (Washington) still leads the league in batting average despite an 0-for-2. He's hitting .406. By the way, he wasn't even on Falmouth's initial roster.
Of note, player-style: I have to talk about Friedrich. Eastern Kentucky isn't exactly a baseball powerhouse, but Friedrich ended up there from Evanston, Ill. He did well as a freshman, then put together a solid campaign in the NECBL. This spring, in his sophomore year, he had a 2.09 ERA with 101 strikeouts in 81.2 innings. Opponents hit .155 against him. A left-hander who's 6-foot-3, Friedrich is sure to catch the eye of scouts.
Orleans 3, Hyannis 1
Orleans to 7-4, Hyannis to 5-5
- Orleans won its second straight
- Wynn Pelzer (South Carolina) allowed a run in five innings for the victory
- Four Cardinal relievers each tossed scoreless innings with Nick Christiani (Vanderbilt) notching his second save
- Jose Jimenez (Tampa) had two hits for the Cardinals
- Hyannis' Shane Peterson (Long Beach State) and Dan Brewer (Bradley), who are both in the top 6 in batting average each had hits
Of note, player-style: Orleans' outfielder Dennis Raben (Miami), who went 1-for-3 Tuesday, is slugging .639 and has an on-base percentage of .400. He also has six extra-base hits, tied for the league lead. He has two home runs.
Chatham 5, Wareham 2
Chatham to 7-4, Wareham to 1-9
- Ninth straight loss for the Gatemen
- Addison Johnson (Clemson) and Jermaine Curtis (UCLA) each went 3-for-4 for the A's
- Chatham's Gavin Brooks (UCLA) struck out 10 and allowed two runs in six innings
- The game was tied 2-2 until Chatham broke through in the eighth. Allan Dykstra (Wake Forest) broke it open with a pinch-hit two-run single.
Of note, player-style: Brooks had a big freshman season for UCLA and has continued his success on the Cape. Though he hasn't yet recorded a decision, he's posted a 2.69 ERA in two starts, and he's struck out 14 in 10.1 innings. It's a pitchers' league, yes, but any time a freshman does well on the mound, it's news, at least in my book.
Bourne 4, Yarmouth-Dennis 3
Bourne to 6-3-1, Hyannis to 8-3
- This was a battle of first-place teams
- Bourne rallied from a 3-2 deficit with two in the fifth. Brian Pruitt (Stetson) hit a home run to tie the game, and T.J. Steele (Arizona) scored on a wild pitch after reaching on a walk
- T.J. Hose (East Carolina) got the win for Bourne in his first start. He didn't allow an earned run in six innings of work.
- Each team made two errors
- Y-D's Terry Doyle (Boston College) limited Bourne to four hits but walked six
Of note, player-style: Bourne shortstop Kevin Hoef (Iowa) went 1-for-5, but is still second in the league in hitting, with an average of .395.
