Daily Fog: Powering Up

Before last night, Cape Leaguers had hit a total of six home runs since opening day.

Last night, they hit five.

A sign of power hitters getting comfortable? Coincidence? Probably a little of both.

But two teams in particular are happy it happened yesterday.

Hyannis salvaged a split of its doubleheader with Orleans when Adam Brett Walker (Jacksonville) smacked a three-run walk-off homer in the seventh. Cotuit got a three-run homer by Victor Roache (Georgia Southern) in the eighth inning on its way to a 4-2 comeback win over Bourne.

The home runs were the first of the summer for Walker and Roache, who had two of the best college seasons of any Cape Leaguers. Roache has been hot so far, and went 2-for-2 yesterday to raise his average to .500. Walker’s average is .211 but he does have a hit in four of the Harbor Hawks’ five games.

The other home runs last night came from Taylor Ard (Washington State), who just came back to Brewster after getting drafted in the 25th round, Chatham’s Kris Bryant (Chatham) and Y-D’s Mason Katz (LSU), who hit his second homer.

Elsewhere

Orleans took game one from Hyannis thanks to five strong innings by Tyler Gebler (Rutgers) and a four-run third. Steve Selsky (Arizona), Steve Nyisztor (Rutgers) and Rudy Flores (Florida International) each drove in a run. Ninth-round pick Nick Mutz made his first appearance in relief for the Firebirds and worked two scoreless innings. In game two, Matt Dunbar (Southern Nevada) worked six scoreless frames before giving up the blast to Walker in the seventh. Reliever Dylan Floro (Cal State Fullerton) got the win for Hyannis, after Zach Cooper (Central Michigan) had pitched six shutout innings. For Hyannis, Dan Gulbransen (Jacksonille) went 4-for-6 in the twin bill to raise his average to .500.

Roache’s homer sent Cotuit to its second win in a row. Paul Snieder (Northwestern) was credited with the win. Patrick Biondi (Michigan) drove in Cotuit’s other run.

Brewster put up its second 12-run game of the season last night, beating Chatham 12-2. Tanner Nivins (Stony Brook) and Chase Anslement (Washington) each drove in two runs, while Andrew Toles (Tennessee), Ryan Jones (Michigan State) and Jack Mayfield (Oklahoma) had three hits apiece. Jones now has six hits in his last two games and leads the league with a .526 batting average. Brandon Love (Mercer) got the win for Brewster. Chatham made four errors to hurt its cause.

Y-D scored two in the sixth and held on to beat Harwich 3-2 for its fourth win of the year. Katz’s home run accounted for the two runs in the sixth. Y-D starter James Lomangino (St. John’s) went eight innings, allowing just two runs on six hits. Matt Rush (Oral Roberts) pitched a scoreless ninth for the save.

What to Watch

Game: Just two games on the schedule tonight, with Wareham making the trek to Orleans, and Hyannis hosting Falmouth.

Player: Keep an eye on the Harbor Hawks’ Gulbransen, who’s had a hit in every game this season.

What a Relief
Taylor Lehman's five scoreless innings of relief helped Cotuit get back into the win column.
