Chatham travels to Wareham for first time this season

There are nine other teams in the Cape Cod Baseball League, and the Chatham Anglers have played eight of them. Tonight, the Anglers (9-8) will travel the final team, the Wareham Gatemen (9-8), for the first time this season. The interdivision showdown will take place 7 p.m. at Spillane Field.

In a matchup of the league’s easternmost team against its westernmost team, Chatham is expected to send the left-handed Jesse Adams (Boston College) to the hill for the second time this year.

Adams’ first appearance of the season came against a team residing nearly as far west as Wareham, the Cotuit Kettleers (5-12). Adams sliced up the Kettleers in that contest, giving up four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. The effort led to a 4-1 Chatham victory, and it was a pivotal piece of a run in which Chatham won five out of six games.

“I was pleased with my performance, and I knew the bullpen was going to come in and perform after I left,” said Adams. “Next time out I’m going to focus on a little more command of my off-speed pitches.”

The individual who caught Adams in that game was his collegiate teammate, Nick Sciortino (Boston College). Sciortino has been a defensive force behind the plate for Chatham, catching 66.67% of runners who have attempted to steal against him. Pitchers appreciate Sciortino’s arm, as well as his ability to save wild pitches.

“Having a catcher who can block like that is a big luxury,” said Chatham pitcher, T.J. Zeuch (Pittsburgh). “It definitely gives you more confidence to throw breaking balls in the dirt with runners on.”

First pitch is 7 p.m. from Spillane Field. Dominic Cotroneo and Jonny Wincott have call live, starting with the Anglers Extra Pregame Show at 6:40 p.m. It can be viewed/heard on TRZ Teamline or heard toll-free at 1-800-846-4700, code 3841.
