Yesterday all Cape League games were canceled and the games on Sunday were minimal and if the players did get to play, it was a moist and cold day on the diamond. Today the Cape League faces more rain outs with the %60 chance of rain. This proposes trouble for the league when trying to find days where these games can be made up and also proposes a threat of multiple double headers for teams.
As for this baseball fan I just want the rain to go away so I can watch more exciting baseball. On Sunday, the last day a game was played on the Cape, Chatham faced Orleans in Orleans. Not many fans showed up as it was cold and misting out but those fans who didn't show missed an exciting game. Chatham did not get off to a good start falling behind Orleans 7 - 1. But in the next inning they found a way to get within 7 - 5. In the top of the ninth the Anglers scored one more run before shortstop Brian Harris (Vanderbilt) stepped up to the plate and cranked a grand slam over the left field fence giving Chatham a 10 - 7 lead and eventually the win.
Chatham seems to be the come-back kids and now have a record of 7 - 1. Hopefully their hot streak can continue and they can take their team to the playoffs this year.
