Cape Cod Baseball League roundup: Chatham splits doubleheader
The Chatham Anglers split a doubleheader of makeup games Tuesday night and are now (9-19-1).
The first of the two games was a 7-2 win over the Wareham Gatemen (11-18-2). The Gatemen actually jumped out to an early lead, when Grant Hussey (West Virginia) drove in Arizona State's Nick McLain with a sacrifice fly. The Gatemen doubled their lead in the top of the sixth inning via a solo home run of the bat of South Florida's Bobby Boser. Chatham got on the board in the bottom of the seventh, when West Virginia's JJ Weatherholt singled to score Zach MacDonald (Miami of Ohio), cutting the deficit in half.

The Anglers' offense came to life in the bottom of the eighth. Chatham scored six runs, and turned a one-run deficit into a five-run lead. Two runs scored on bases-loaded walks and gave the Anglers a 3-2 lead. Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek (USC) broke the game open with a ground-rule double that scored a pair of runs, and Nolan Schubart (Oklahoma State) followed with a two-RBI double of his own to put Chatham out of sight.
In the second game, the Anglers fell 5-2 to the Falmouth Commodores (15-15-2). Wallace Community College's Kade Snell knocked in the first three runs for the Commodores in the top of the sixth inning with one swing of the bat. Dallas Baptist junior Nathan Humphreys had a big day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a home run, an RBI and two runs scored. Evan O'Toole (Oklahoma State), got the start for Falmouth, and earned the win after going five innings, and only allowing a run.
Texas A&M sophomore Kaeden Kent had three hits, and scored a run out of the leadoff spot for the Anglers.
