Mets rained on and thrown at; fall to Red Sox in opener story from 6/13/00; posted on 6/14/00 at 14:35 EDT --HYANNIS--The Y-D Red Sox won in the inaugural game of the 2000 CCBL season by a score of 4-2. Due to a steady combination of rain and light-blocking clouds, the game was called after eight innings. The game at McKeon Field saw sun, wind, and even an military helicopter during the course of the game. It also saw a seemingly record-setting six hit batsmen by all of the pitchers combined. With the score at 2-1 in favor of Hyannis in the top of the fifth, Y-D's Ulises Cabrera (Vanderbilt) led off the inning with one of his team's two HBPs. Luke Nelson (Southern Illinois) followed with a single up the middle. Chris Rosado (Boston College) laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners into scoring position, and the runners were hit home by Cory Sullivan (Wake Forest). The lead was held for Y-D by Brandon Luna (Cypress College), a sidearmer who allowed no hits in the final 2 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking four. Hyannis' first run came in the second inning. Greg Miller (James Madison) reached base on an error, moved to second on a wild pitch, and scored on a single by Jesse Carlton. Miller was also hit twice in the game. Justin Taylor (0-1) was "hit" with the Mets' loss despite a solid outing. The Baylor pitcher only gave up four hits and two earned runs in six innings, striking out four and walking three. Brad Comer (1-0) from Wake Forest got the win for Y-D. His three hit batsmen aside, the rest of his line is rather impressive: five innings, four hits, one earned run, one walk, and four strikeouts. Only three out of the six runs in the game were earned; the two teams also combined for four costly errors. Mike Scott (Connecticut), one of Hyannis' two returning players from the 1999 team, came up big in the third inning with a triple to the gap in right-center. He eventually scored off a hit by Jon Henry Kail (Georgia Tech). Besides three errors, the Mets' fatal downfall was the 11 runners left stranded during the game. Now, about that helicopter! It had landed in the adjacent soccer/lacrosse field several hours ago to take part in a demonstration for the Horace Mann Charter School, whose school year is about to come to an end. During the Mets' batting practice, the chopper powered up, hovered over the fields for several minutes, and then left the area. It is not yet known whether any F-18 fighter jets will be available to do fly-bys at Cape League games after the national anthem is played. YARMOUTH-DENNIS--100

Orleans moves to a record of 2-0 in the Eastern Division, while the Mets fall to 0-2 in the Western Division. Hyannis pitcher Dan Core (Florida Atlantic) settled down after walking three of the first four batters, only one of which scored. Core (0-1) struck out five in six innings, and retired twelve consecutive batters at one point. Orleans produced a two-run sixth inning. With the score knotted at one, returning Cardinal Jason Basil (Georgia Tech) reached base on a walk and scored on a double by the next batter, Tyler Beuerlein (Grand Canyon). Beuerlein then came home on a hit by Chad Tracy (East Carolina). The winning pitcher for Orleans was starter Brett Lewis (Georgia Southern). Lewis (1-0) threw seven innings for the Cardinals with seven strikeouts and no walks. Taft Cable (UNC-Greensboro) pitched the ninth inning for his second save. Brian Stavisky (Notre Dame) led the Hyannis offense, reaching base on three occasions with a hit, a walk, and an error. Mike Scott is still without a regular hit this season, leading off the game with a double to left field. (He hit a triple in yesterday's game, and leads the team in extra base hits.) He accounted for Hyannis' only run in that same inning. The relief pitchers for Hyannis were Greg Conden (George Washington) and Chris Walsh (Northeastern). Each pitched one inning, allowing no additional damage. Hyannis' offense was shot down late in the game. Three out of the last four offensive innings for the Mets ended in a double play.

The undisputed offensive MVP of the Gatemen was Greg Porter (Texas A&M), who was 3-for-4 with four runs and 3 RBI. Two of his three hits were triples to the gap in left-center. Steve Holm (Oral Roberts) and Jon Henry Kail produced nearly identical numbers for the Mets. Each of them added two hits and a run scored to the Mets' efforts. The winning pitcher was Russ Bayer (1-0). Bayer (Miami of Ohio) threw six innings for Wareham, allowing only one earned run and striking out two. He also acted as the designated hitter for himself, hitting a double in the second and getting 2 RBI. John Birtwell (0-1) was hit very hard during his outing, and was credited with the loss. Birtwell (Harvard) did strike out five batters in 5 1/3 innings, but he allowed nine runs. Only four of those runs were earned, due mainly to his three errors in the field. Another offensive contributer for the Mets was Frank Corr. Corr (Stetson) reached base in all three at-bats with a single, an error, and a double. Wareham had eight hitters score runs in the game. They had two three-run innings, and one four-run inning. In the bottom of the eigth with two outs and Kail on first, a hard-hit ball by Jamie Athas (Wake Forest) was misplayed by Wareham right fielder Mike Prochaska (NC State) and went to the wall. Kail scored, but Athas was thrown out trying to reach third base. The game was called on account of darkness shortly afterwards. WAREHAM--031

Harwich wins pitcher's duel, 1-0 over Hyannis story from 6/16/00; posted on 6/16/00 at 23:26 EDT --HARWICH--In a quick game that highlighted great pitching and defense, the Mariners extended their undefeated season and prevented the Mets from picking up their first win of the year. The game saw three hits and two errors on each side and little else, ending in a lightning-fast two hours and two minutes. The Mariners had an unearned run in the fourth, and the score ended up 1-0. The run was scored by second baseman John Cole (Nebraska-Lincoln). He reached base on a hit to right field, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Charles Bilezikjan (St. John's) that was misplayed by Mets third baseman Frank Corr for an error, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jason Colson (Winthrop). Despite being hit with the loss, the star pitcher of the day was Hyannis' Jason Bush (Virginia Tech). He allowed no earned runs in eight innings, gave up only three hits, struck out five, and walked two. His record fell to an undeserving 0-1. The winning pitcher, Jay Belflower (Florida), moves to 1-0 after throwing seven scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and struck out two. Ryan Stegall (Missouri), who played third base for the first eight innings, pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his first save of the season. The Mets' basestealing inability was again evident in today's game. In the top of the ninth, Todd Korchin (Northeastern) had a two-out base hit, and Greg Miller was inserted as a pinch runner. He was thrown out trying to steal on the second pitch of the following at-bat to end the game. An interesting defensive play took place on both sides of the ball. Twice during the game, in the first inning for Harwich and in the seventh inning for Hyannis, a hard-hit line drive bounced off of the pitcher. The second baseman then picked the ball up, who fired it to first for the out. A record for 1-4-3 putouts in a game is not listed in the CCBL media guide, but it would seem that this record was either tied or beaten. HYANNIS-----000

Brian Stavisky provided the biggest offensive punch for the Mets, driving in half of the Mets' ten runs. In the third inning, he hit a bases-clearing double and scored on a hit by Jesse Carlton. More power was contributed by Steve Holm. He hit 3-for-4, scored three runs, and drove in a run. The winning pitcher for Hyannis was Matt Coenen (Charleston Southern). Coenen (1-0) pitched four innings of relief for starter Greg Conden, struck out four, and walked only one. Early on, the game appeared to be a contest to see who would shoot themselves in the foot first. Hyannis had three errors in the first three innings, but none of the errors ended up costing a run. Cotuit's catcher, Steve Ghutzman (Blinn JC), had four passed balls during his rough day behind the plate. However, only one of the runners on base during the passed balls came in to score. The Mets continued to add to their lead late in the game. They had a three-run eighth inning off of two hits, two walks, and a Cotuit error. McKeon Field saw its first home run of the season, even though it wasn't hit by a Met. Cotuit right fielder Matt Singer (Cincinnati) hit a 2-and-1 pitch just over the fence in right field, carried over the wall by a wind gust in the exact same direction. Offense was potent for both teams, with a total of 22 hits between the two clubs. Despite the combined seven errors, eleven out of the thirteen total runs were earned. COTUIT----001

They were shut out for the second time in four games, this time falling to Bourne at Coady Field by a score of 4-0. The winning pitcher for Bourne, Khalid Ballouli (Texas A&M), improves to 2-0 with his eight-inning performance. He struck out five and allowed only four hits during his shutout. He was relieved by Nick Brannon (UNC-Asheville), who pitched the final inning to complete the shutout. The Braves scored three of their four runs in the second inning. Darren Welch (Southern Mississippi) reached base with a walk to lead off the inning. He was moved over to second by a single from Steve Rowell (New Orleans). Welch scored and Rowell moved into scoring position off a hit from Ben Beck (Northeastern). They both then scored off a single from Mike Rodriguez (Miami). Justin Taylor (0-2) had a decent outing despite getting the loss for Hyannis. He struck out three in seven innings and scattered six hits. Jake Alley (Southern Illinois) arrived in Hyannis earlier Sunday and was promptly place in the game for his first outing of the season. He allowed no runs and no hits in his one-inning appearance. Despite scoring no runs in the game, the Mets had five hits, most notably a 6th inning double to the gap in left-center by Frank Corr. For the first time this season, no Mets hitters were hit with a pitch. (Also, no Mets pitchers hit any Braves batters.) One positive note for Hyannis: only one error was committed in the field, the smallest number in all games this season. HYANNIS----000

The Gatemen improve their record to a league-leading 6-1 with the win. Wareham picked up the three runs they needed to win in the first inning. Nick Swisher (Ohio State) started the rally with a double to left. He was hit in by a Greg Porter single. Porter and Tyler Parker (Georgia Tech) scored on a double by Mike Prochaska. Beau Hintz (Fresno State) moved to 1-1 with the win. He pitched seven innings, allowing the game's only run. He did allow eight hits, but he struck out four in the effort. Hyannis managed to get nine hits in the game, but did not manage to bring those potential runs in. Ten runners were left on base. In addition, the only run (scored by Ken Riley) came when Brian Stavisky was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Riley also reached base because he was hit with a pitch. Dan Core (0-2) remains winless in his two starts. He allowed all of Wareham's runs in his six innings despite striking out eight and walking only two. The Gatemen timed their hits well; both of the runners walked by Core ended up scoring. Hyannis outhit Wareham 9-7. The main contributers to this total were Stavisky (two hits), Brendan Harris (double), and Frank Corr (two hits). A positive note for Hyannis was its defense; the Mets had an errorless game for the first time this year. Riley had an exceptional game behind the plate, throwing out four of six potential basestealers. HYANNIS----001

Falmouth's offense exploded with 15 hits, 12 runs (all earned), and 7 extra-base hits. As much damage as they did to the Mets' team ERA, it could have been much worse. After scoring so many runs, they could afford to leave 12 additional runners on base. Keeping with the theme of dozens, the Commodore hitters also struck out 12 times. Their offensive stars were third baseman Luke Scott (Oklahoma State), left fielder Doc Brooks (Georgia), and catcher Philip Ghutzman (Rice). Scott had a big double in the sixth and a towering two-run homer to right in the following inning. Brooks had two doubles, a solo homer that hooked around the left-field foul pole, and three runs. Ghutzman had two doubles and three RBI. The Mets once again failed to bring their runs home after putting people on base. They had 12 hits themselves, but reached the magic number with 12 strikeouts. Brian Stavisky had a successful night with three hits, and Ryan Barthelemy (Florida State) had a single and a double in his debut with the Mets. Frank Corr had two RBI and two hits, raising his team-leading batting average to .333. His first hit in the first inning was a solo home run to left-center field, Hyannis' first home run of the season. He picked up his second RBI in the ninth on a double, scoring Steve Holm. The pitching for both sides was very unremarkable. Justin Maureau (Wichita State) was the winning pitcher for Falmouth. Maureau (1-1) struck out seven and scattered six hits in six innings. Hyannis' Jason Bush (0-2) got the loss after being shelled in 3 1/3 innings of work. He allowed five runs and six hits, including a stretch of seven consecutive batters reaching base safely.

The final score from McKeon Field was 5-0. Orleans pitchers Steve Kelly (Georgia Tech) and Brad Pinkerton (Elon) combined in the six-hit effort. Kelly (1-1) started for the Cardinals and picked up the win. He pitched eight innings, striking out four. Pinkerton pitched a perfect ninth inning to clinch the win. John Birtwell (0-2) took the loss for the Mets. He pitched for seven innings, allowed ten hits but only three runs, and struck out five. The offense of the Cardinals was led by returning prospect Lance Niekro (Florida Southern). Niekro went 4-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI. In one day, he raised his average from .188 to .333. Hyannis had two extra base hits during the game. Greg Miller had a triple to center field in the third inning, and Brian Stavisky had a double to right in the seventh. Both runners were stranded at third base. Orleans had three other players with two hits: Lee Delfino (East Carolina), Bryan Prince (Georgia Tech), and Ken Huff (Arizona). Delfino and Huff both had doubles. Defense was exceptional for everyone, with only two errors between the two teams. Hyannis turned two double plays, and Orleans turned one. Hyannis again couldn't put their runs on the board. There were nine runners left on base, a double play, and two fielder's choices. ORLEANS--000

Rabelo was 2-for-4 in his first day as a Met with a home run to left field and a single to right-center. He also reached base and scored in the sixth inning off a three-base throwing error by Brewster third baseman Murph Norris (Cal State Fullerton). Behind the plate, he threw out the only potential basestealer of the day. Matt Coenen (2-0) was the Mets' winning pitcher, and now has both of the Mets' two wins. He pitched seven strong innings, allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts. Greg Conden and Daryl DeSalvo (Radford) each pitched one scoreless inning of relief. Ryan Gloger (Stanford) was credited with the Brewster loss in his first decision of the year. Gloger (0-1) gave up all the damage that Hyannis caused, including seven runs (only one of which was earned) and eleven hits. In his first outing of the year, Dan Rich (Stanford) pitched two perfect innings with four strikeouts in relief of Gloger. Brian Stavisky had another great day at the plate with a double and two RBI for Hyannis. In helping to complete a strange double play in the seventh inning, Stavisky added to his team-leading three outfield assists. Mike Scott, taken out of the leadoff spot after struggling initially, demonstrated his leadoff abilities by reaching base twice on exceptional bunt singles. Brewster's leading hitters were left fielder Paul O'Toole (Notre Dame) and first baseman Josh Persell (Southern Cal). O'Toole had a single, a double, and an RBI, while Persell reached base three times and scored a run. Persell also masterminded a "hidden ball trick" play in the fifth inning. The Mets' defense has matured nicely since the beginning of the season; they had no errors in the game and only one error in the last two games. BREWSTER---010

Mets win second straight behind Harris slam story from 6/24/00; posted on 6/24/00 at 23:34 EDT --YARMOUTH--The Mets pulled out their second victory in as many days with a win over the Y-D Red Sox by a score of 6-3. They were powered by a complete-game effort by Justin Taylor and a grand slam from third baseman Brendan Harris. Taylor (1-2) threw 122 pitches in his outing, and had a two-hit shutout after eight innings. After a turbulent ninth, he finished the game with a respectable three earned runs, six hits, one walk, and eight strikeouts. Harris' grand slam came in the second inning, and was already his second hit of the game. The three runners were Mike Scott, Mike Rabelo, and Jamie Athas; they reached base on a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and a walk, respectively. Hyannis had eleven hits in the game, the same total as they had hit the previous night. All nine hitters in the Mets lineup had at least one hit, a first for Hyannis this year. In addition, the Mets committed no errors in the field for the second consecutive game. The only other hitter to have two hits in the game for the Mets was first baseman Ryan Barthelemy. He hit two doubles to right (one of which hopped the wall for a ground-rule double) and scored a run in the ninth inning. Barthelemy was hit in by Steve Holm. Jon Henry Kail had an RBI in the first inning when he singled to right, bringing in Athas. Brad Comer (2-1) had his first loss of the season for the Red Sox in his second outing against Hyannis. He did not fare as well this time around, allowing seven hits and five earned runs in six innings. He struck out six but walked five and threw four wild pitches. Comer was relieved by J.T. Stotts (Cal State Northridge), who threw for two innings. Then, in a bizzare series of complicated defensive changes, the ninth inning was pitched by left fielder John Baker (Cal/Berkley) and center fielder Cory Sullivan. Y-D's only runs came in the ninth inning. The rally started with three consecutive singles by Joey Monahan (Liberty), Shaun Larkin (Texas Tech), and Danny Lopaze (Virginia Commonwealth). Monahan scored on the Lopaze single, Lopaze scored on a sacrifice fly from Tony Garcia (Pepperdine), and Lopaze came in on a hit by Stotts. Taylor managed to record the third out by striking out Scott McLanahan (Alabama) with the tying run on deck. HYANNIS----------140

Everyone apparently thought so except for the Mets themselves, who mounted a comeback that ended just one run short of Bourne's early output. The final score from McKeon Field was 10-9 in favor of the Braves. Bourne took care of all their offense in the first four innings. The first two runs came off a towering home run by Max Krance (Princeton). Krance had two hits in the following two innings and ended up with two runs scored and 5 RBI. Bourne's fourth inning saw twelve batters, seven runs, five hits, a double, four walks, and two Hyannis pitchers. Other big hitters for Bourne included J.D. Alleva (Duke) and Kevin Youkilis (Cincinnati). Alleva went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and a double, while Youkilis had two hits and two RBI. The Mets were shut out for the first four innings. They got their first two runs in the fifth inning, when Jamie Athas tripled home Brendan Harris and Greg Miller. Athas had another RBI later in the game, while Harris and Miller scored runs later in the huge seventh inning. The seventh inning for Hyannis rivaled the Braves' fourth inning: twelve batters, seven runs, four hits, a double, two walks, two hit batsmen, and two Bourne pitchers. Harris, Dan Kantrovitz (Brown), and Mike Rabelo accounted for the first three innings. The damage could have stopped there if not for a two-out passed ball on a strikeout by Mike Scott. Scott reached base and ended up scoring, as did Jon Henry Kail, Brian Stavisky, and Matt Carson (Brigham Young). Neither of the starting pitchers were successful in their outings. The Braves' winning pitcher, Justin Pope (Central Florida), had a shutout for 4 1/3 innings, but was pulled after 6 2/3 in the middle of the turbulent seventh. Pope (1-1) allowed seven earned runs and eight hits, but did manage to strike out ten batters. Dan Core (0-3) lost the game for Hyannis after being shelled in 3 2/3 innings. He gave up eleven hits and eight earned runs. Most of the relievers managed to do better in their outings. Hyannis' Greg Conden allowed only one unearned run in 3 1/3 innings, and Jake Alley struck out three in two scoreless innings. Bourne's Billy Biggs (West Virginia) and Josh Brey (Liberty) combined to shut out the Mets in the final 2 1/3 innings. Stats of note...the Mets committed one error in Sunday's game and have committed only two in the past four games...Brian Stavisky was 1-for-4 Sunday, extending his hitting streak to eight games...Hyannis has scored 22 runs in the past three games, one more than they had scored in all other games combined this season.
