Chatham Improves to 4 - 1

On a beautiful and warmer Chatham night, the Anglers picked up their 4th win of the season in the 10th inning against the Wareham Gatemen 5 - 4.
In the make up game against Wareham that was "fogged out" last Friday night, the Anglers got off to a rough start. After the first three innings the Anglers found themselves down by three after the Wareham Gatemen scored two runs in both the second and the third inning. On the mound for the Anglers was Thomas Keeling, a senior left hander from Oklahoma St. Chris Leonida (Georgia Tech) got things started for Wareham in the second inning by hitting a single past Chatham's third baseman. A double then followed that was hit by Jake Lemmerman (Duke) putting runners on second and third. Both those runners scored off of a base-clearing double hit by Wareham's Chris Hannick (Cal State Northridge).
Chatham cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second inning. But Wareham's bats were too hot for Chatham to keep Wareham's lead at bay. The Gatemen scored two more runs in the third when Leonida walked and advanced to third on two passed balls. After Chatham's new pitcher Pete Kennelly (Fordham) walked another batter, Wareham's Chris Hannick (Cal State Northridge) hit a double driving both batters in putting Wareham up 4 - 1.
Chatham's hopes seemed lost until they got their bats together in the bottom of the eighth inning driving in three runs tying the game at 4. Going into the 10th inning, Wareham could not get a run off of Chatham's closer Taylor Hill (Baylor). In the bottom of the inning Chatham got three singles and was able to score on a passed third strike to end the game. Chatham plays Bourne tonight in Bourne at 6pm.
