The National Classic Baseball Tournament, one of the most noted on the high school calendar, decided to shift from aluminum to wood this year after a pitcher was hit in the head by a batted ball. Pitcher Gunnar Sandberg was in a medically-induced coma after being taken to the hospital, according to Baseball America. Sandberg is [...]
Trip down memory lane I went on eBay recently and purchased for under $4 the 1993 Cape Cod Baseball League Media Guide (108th year). The previous owner was a fan from Marstons Mills. Perhaps he’s also a CodBall reader? I couldn’t resist adding it to my collection. I also bid on a 1984 media guide as well [...]
Yesterday, the Cape Cod Baseball League made official what everyone pretty much already knew. The All Star Game will be returning to Fenway Park on Wednesday, July 28. Let the “play it in Fenway / keep it on the Cape” debate begin anew. Number 2 Arizona State and sixth-ranked UCLA squeaked out wins last night, allowing both teams to maintain their [...]
LHP Adam Conley is probably dreaming tonight of the coming summer in Brewster. Trouble is he’s sleepless in Seattle. On a cold and rainy night in the Pacific Northwest today the Washington State University closer watched his left fielder drop what would have been a game-ending pop-up. Instead of a save, the Huskies got a game-winning error in [...]
A few more notes….. Although he was only on the Cape for a short time, it is worth noting that Florida State’s Tyler Holt accomplished one of the rarest of baseball feats on Sunday. Holt, who played in three games for Cotuit in 2008, hit for the cycle in the Seminoles 9-5 win over Maryland. Hitting for the cycle [...]
Taking a tour of college baseball diamonds while checking on some past and future Cape Leaguers, we find….. Another example of what makes baseball a strange and wonderful game. Air Force went into Friday’s game against Texas Christian with a 5-16 record. Falcons starting pitcher Alex Truesdale’s line shows that he allowed 14 hits and 10 earned runs. Not a [...]
After more than a year of speculation, the Hyannis Athletic Association announced on Sunday that the Hyannis Mets will play its 2010 campaign as the Hyannis Harbor Hawks. Hyannis’ decision to change its name to a locally-grown team name follows the league’s legal dispute with the MLB over trademarks. The Orleans Cardinals became the Orleans Firebirds [...]
After Chatham and Orleans changed their nicknames in the fall of 2008, I fully expected that there would be another team or two that would follow suit for the 2010 season. It looks like that is about to happen. With the Hyannis Mets likely to become the Harbor Hawks, the only surprise here is that it [...]
Louisiana State RHP Joey Bourgeois (Hyannis, ‘10) has some big shoes to fill in the early part of the Tigers season. Bourgeois is taking the place of ace righthander Anthony Ranaudo (Y-D, ‘08) while the Tigers coaching staff proceeds with caution in getting Ranaudo back into the rotation. Bourgeois joins Austin Ross (Y-D, ‘09) in the rotation for the [...]
Baseball America’s John Manuel writes in the latest print edition about the state of baseball programs at America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). One of those universities, Southern, produced the number two draft pick overall, Rickie Weeks, of the Brewers. Manuel, BA’s editor-in-chief, makes the case for HBCUs to prioritize baseball programs just as they [...]
While most of the sports world tuned into USA-Canada hockey this afternoon, I took in some rare spring sunshine and my first college baseball game of the 2010 campaign. My first game of the year was the University of Washington Huskies versus the Fresno State Bulldogs – the battle of the dogs. (Believe it or not in [...]
With their 12-0 win today, Boston College has taken the first two games of the season-opening series from Tulane. Mike Dennhardt (Chatham ‘09, ‘10) pitched 7 innings and allowed just two hits to pick up the win. Boston College lead 4-0 before Matt Watson (Y-D ‘10) and Mickey Wiswall (Y-D ‘09) each hit three-run homeruns to put [...]
While much of the sporting world is digesting today’s Tiger Woods Infomercial, here are a few non-Tiger thoughts….. I’m hearing that the Yarmouth-Dennis organization will be putting some of the remaining Yawkey Grant money toward a new scoreboard at Red Wilson Field. The Bourne Braves will celebrate their first-ever league championship by honoring the 1965 Sagamore championship team. Lou Lamoriello, President of the New [...]
Although snow is covering the ground in many parts of the country, Division 1 college baseball gets underway tomorrow. For Cape League and college baseball fans looking for an early-season fix, the MLB Network will be providing coverage on Saturday of the Urban Invitational Tournament. At 5:00 ET, Cal State Northridge plays Southern Univ. That will be folowed [...]
