Scores
Brewster 9, Harwich 3
Bourne 11, Chatham 4
Falmouth 7, Cotuit 2
Wareham 4, Hyannis 3
Y-D 4, Orleans 3
Brewster 9, Harwich 3
Brewster to 7-6-1, Harwich to 3-11
WP: Ben Hornbeck LP: Miers Quigley
- Brewster used a five-run sixth to erase a 3-o Harwich lead and put the game away with four in the eighth
- Ryan Babineau (UCLA) hit a three-run triple in the sixth to make it 4-3
- Babineau, Danny Lima (Tennessee) and Jacob Priday (Missouri) each had two hits for Brewster
- The loss was Harwich's eighth in a row; the Mariners now have the worst record in the league
- Chris Dominguez (Louisville) and Jeremy Wise (LSU) had two hits apiece for Harwich
- Brewster's Ben Hornbeck (Kansas St.) allowed just a hit in 3.1 innings of relief
Of note, player-style: Hornbeck has walked eight batters in 11.2 innings but that hasn't hurt him. He has a 1.54 ERA in six bullpen appearances.
Bourne 11, Chatham 4, 12 innings
Bourne to 10-3-1, Chatham to 7-5-2
WP: T.J. Hose LP: Jeff Lorick
- It seems almost impossible to have an extra-inning game end with an 11-4 score, but such is the case when the visiting team does some serious damage -- Bourne scored seven in the top of the 12th
- Kevin Hoef (Iowa) reached on an error to start the rally...Kyle Smith (Cal-Poly) had a two-run single to break the tie
- Bourne starter Steven Hensley (Elon) allowed four runs in four innings, but five Bourne relievers shut the door from there
- Jesse Haney (UNC-Wilmington) allowed two hits in two innings, while Matt Karl (UConn), Jeff Richard (Central Michigan), Jordan Flasher (George Mason) and T.J. Hose (East Carolina) pitched the final six innings without allowing a hit
- Chatham led 4-2 going into the ninth before Bourne tied it, marking the third consecutive night that the A's have blown a lead in the ninth
Of note, player-style: Not to dwell on a negative, but this negative is noteworthy because of the positive that preceded it. Hoef, the league leader in batting average, took an 0-for-5 on Saturday, the first game this season in which Hoef hasn't had at least one hit. And he's played in every game, so this isn't skewed. It's just ridiculous. Hoef is now hitting .396.
Falmouth 7, Cotuit 2
Falmouth to 5-9, Cotuit to 7-7
WP: Aaron Shafer LP: Ryan Strauss
- Aaron Shafer (Wichita St.) pitched eight solid innings in his first start of the year -- seven hits and two runs; seven strikeouts
- Falmouth scored one in the first and three in the second...only two of the runs were earned
- Falmouth's Conor Gillaspie (Wichita St.) helped his college teammate with a 4-for-5 night that included a home run and two doubles
Of note, player-style: Gillaspie was hitting .266 before Saturday. After his 4-for-5, he's now hitting .400. Thank you, small sample size.
Wareham 4, Hyannis 3
Wareham to 4-10, Hyannis to 5-8-1
WP: Wade Miley LP: JAson Franzblau
- Wareham got only three hits but made them count
- The Gatemen got all four runs in the second inning -- after a walk and a hit batsman, Dustin Dickerson (Baylor) brought in a run with a single; after another walk, Dominic de la Osa (Vanderbilt) followed with a two-run single and later, Diallo Fon (Arizona) brought a run home with a groundout
- Miley (SE Louisiana) pitched a complete game for his first victory of the year (he'd been a hard-luck loser twice)
- Franzblau (Winthrop) was flawless except for the second inning
- Hyannis dropped its fifth in a row
Of note, player-style: Miley has put up some of the most impressive numbers in the league and finally has a win to show for it. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound lefty has two complete games in four starts and is now 1-2. He has strcuk out 27 against 10 walks in 27 innings and has allowed just four earned runs (12 runs total), giving him a 1.33 ERA. Opponents are hitting .202 against him. Miley was 7-5 with a 3.86 ERA for Southeastern Louisiana this spring as a sophomore.
Y-D 4, Orleans 3, 12 innings
Y-D to 10-3-1, Orleans to 9-5
WP: Shawn Sanford LP: Sam Brown
- In a battle for first, Y-D held on to the top spot by the narrowest of margins
- Nick Romero (San Diego State) won it for the Red Sox with a two-out, bases-loaded RBI single in the bottom of the seventh that plated Grant Green (USC) with the winning run
- Y-D had tied the game at three with a run in the eighth
- Shawn Sanford (South Florida) struck out five in two perfect innings of relief
- Ollie Linton (UC Irvine) made his debut for Orleans after arriving from the College World Series and went 0-for-4
Of note, player-style: Grant Green had his best game yet in this his fourth game with the Red Sox. Batting leadoff, the freshman shortstop from USC went 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Green was a starter from day one with the Trojans and finished the year hitting .316.
