Taylor Wall (Rice) picked up his second victory of the season, going six innings, allowing two hits and fanning six.

Commodores win Connors Cup on Martha’s Vineyard

OAK BLUFFS – In an unconventional location for a Cape League game, the Commodores played conventional baseball for a 6-2 win over the Wareham Gatemen on Martha’s Vineyard yesterday. Starter Taylor Wall (Rice) went six scoreless innings to pick up his second win of the season for Falmouth. Wall faced just two batters over the minimum during his outing striking out six, allowing just three hits and one walk. As good as the pitching was for the Commodores, the home team in this year’s game on the Vineyard, the hitting was even better.
Falmouth got on the board in the first inning when Ryan Jones (Wichita State) bunted to reach first and then advanced to third on a throwing error by Wareham’s starting pitcher Matt Barnes (UConn). Todd Cunningham (Jacksonville State) followed with an RBI groundout. In the second, Hunter Morris (Auburn) continued his power streak hitting his second home run of the season. With shorter than usual fences at Vineyard Baseball Park at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, Morris led off the inning sending a bomb over the right center field wall. Wall sent the Gatemen down in the third, and the Commodores continued to score in the bottom half of the inning. BA Vollmuth led off the inning with a single deep into the hole between third and short that was tracked down by Gatemen shortstop Jake Lemmerman (Duke) but he could not make a throw. Scott Lawson (Miami) reached on a bunt after Vollmuth. Ryan Jones (Wichita State) appeared to lay down a sacrifice bunt but beat the throw by catcher Cole Leonida (Georgia Tech) to first. Vollmuth then took home plate from second base after nobody covered home. Cunningham then singled and Brian Fletcher, one of the hottest hitters in the Falmouth lineup singled in two more runs to give Falmouth a 5-0 cushion.
The Wareham offense got going once Taylor Wall left the game in the seventh. Mitch Mormann (Des Moines Area CC) came on for Falmouth. Mormann struck out the first batter he faced but allowed four consecutive batters to reach base on two hits and two walks, along with two wild pitches. One run scored on a wild pitch, and another was knocked in on a Chris Hannick (Cal State Northridge) single. Patrick Cooper (Des Moines Area CC) relieved Mormann after that at bat. Cooper got Connor Rowe (Texas) to ground into an inning ending double play. With Falmouth up in the seventh, the offense got one more run on the board courtesty of a Brian Fletcher RBI single to give him three on the day.
Action cooled down until the top of the ninth inning when Georgia’s Cecil Tanner came on to try and close things out. The lanky 6’6” righthander struck out Brett Eibner (Arkansas) to start the ninth. He then hit Leonida and walked Ryan LaMarre (Michigan) to put two runners on. Tanner relied on his sharp breaking curveball and mid 90’s fastball to get Chris Hannick for the second out. Then he walked Lemmerman to load the bases.
Cue Alex Dickerson. Tabbed the Big-10 freshman of the year at Indiana, Dickerson hit a freshman record 14 home runs for the Hoosiers. Up to the plate with the bases loaded and representing the tying run, Thursday would not be his day. Tanner blazed fastballs by Dickerson to get him swinging on strikes to end the game. Falmouth now holds the John and Dorothy Connors Memorial cup after dropping the first game on the Vineyard last season to Wareham 6-1.

07/09/09 - Commodores Sink Gatemen on Island
By SCOTT EATON
OAK BLUFFS, Mass. Despite a "neutral site", the Wareham Gatemen once again struggled offensively on the road - this time on Martha's Vineyard - as the Falmouth Commodores came away with a 6-2 victory this afternoon. The Commodores scored runs in each of the first three innings; highlighted by a Hunter Morris (Auburn) solo homer in the second inning and FOUR infield singles (3 being bunts) in the 3rd inning and cruised to an easy victory over the Gatemen at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School. Matt Barnes (UCONN) lasted only 3 innings as the Wareham starter, giving up 9 hits and 5 runs (4 earned) before giving way to the Gatemen bullpen who had another effective outing. After giving up a run in each of the first 2 innings, Falmouth played "small ball" in the 3rd inning. B.A. Volmuth (S. Mississippi) started off the inning with an infield single. Incredibly, Scott Lawson (Miami), Ryan Jones (Wichita State) and Thomas Cunningham (Jacksonville State) all pulled off bunt singles following Volumuth; resulting in a scored run and loading the bases. Brian Fletcher (Auburn) then followed up with a "traditional" hit down the third base line; driving in 2 runs and giving Falmouth a 5-0 lead. Taylor Wall (Rice) could not be touched by the Wareham offense as they managed only 2 hits, struck out 6 times and walked only once against the Falmouth starting pitcher. The Gatemen tried to make a game of it in the 7th once Wall was lifted and got to face the Commodore bullpen. Brett Eibner (Arkansas) walked and later scored on a wild pitch before Chris Hannick (Cal-State Northridge) doubled to score Cole Leonida (Georgia Tech). With one out and 2 on base on; giving Wareham it's best chance of the game, Alex Dickerson (Indiana) grounded into an inning ending double play.
Another Brian Fletcher rbi single would give Falmouth a 6-2 lead in the 7th but the Gatemen would threaten in the top of the 9th by loading the bases and bringing the tying run to the plate. However, Alex Dickerson would strike out to end the game and give the Commodores the victory. Falmouth's win gives the two teams a victory each in the "series" on the Vineyard as the Gatemen defeated Falmouth last year 6-1. For Wareham offensively, Shea Vucinich (Wash State), Cole Leonida (Georgia Tech), Ryan LaMarre (Michigan) and Chris Hannick (Cal-State Northridge) had the four hits for Wareham. Scott Rembisz (Florida Int'l), Bruce Kern (St. John's) and Josh Slaats (Hawaii) combined out of the Gatemen bullpen to pitch 5 innings, giving up one earned run, 5 hits and 5 strikeouts. The Gatemen have an off-day tomorrow and will return to action at Spillane Field on Saturday when they welcome defending CCBL Champion Harwich for a 7:00pm game. Josh Mueller (Eastern Illinois) is the expected starter. Wareham's record is now 10-9-1 on the season and remains in 2nd place; 3 points behind division leading Bourne.
