As a child, he at- tended numerous games and imagined playing on a team. "I was one of those kids asking for autographs and broken bats," he said. "Now I'm the one signing the balls." The magic certainly isn't lost on McGuire. When he was younger his older brother, Jeffrey Jr., also played ball, advancing all the way to States with one team. "He used to tease me all the time," said McGuire with a grin. "Now I kind of have the better position." No matter what the fu- ture holds, McGuire won't soon forget the first time he stepped back on the Harwich field. He had last played high school ball there. This time he was a bona fide Cape Leaguer, his parents, Barbara and Jeffrey watching from the stands. Although he noted that it was a little strange be- ing in the visitor's dugout, all that mattered was being on a League team, a team he has come to love. "This is everything I've ever dreamed of," he said. "I am loving every minute of it." CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:14 starting pitcher Graham Godfrey struggled to contain the Braves ' bats. In the second inning Godfrey allowed a walk and then threw past the second baseman on a sacrifice bunt , allowing Harwich to get into scoring position with no outs on the board. Harwich quickly racked up two runs, giving them a lead that Cotuit couldn't shake. Cotuit faced Bourne again on Tuesday on home turf at Lowell Park. This time it was a game of a few errors and encroach- ing darkness as the game went into extra innings and Cotuit showed the Braves who is boss. After a quick first inning, the game re- mained scoreless. In the second , however, the Kettleers bats came alive, bringing in two runs and putting Cotuit in the lead. Sean Gaston had a nice slide into second on a single from Kellen Kulbacki and a bunt by Tony Thomas Jr. brought in Kulbacki. Bourne notched a run in the third but the Kettleers remained determined. In the fifth Eric Farris smacked a great double to bring in Thomas and regain Cotuit's two- run lead. Shane Matthews was impressive on the mound , holding the Braves to their one run in the five plus innings he pitched. The score was unchanged until the eighth inning when the Braves rallied , netting an RBI, bringing Cotuit's lead to one run. The Braves then tied the game in the ninth, turning up the heat and dialing up the drama. The crowd roared into action as they encouraged Cotuit to do the same when the game went into the tenth inning, and then the eleventh. Closer Cory Gearrin threw a quick suc- cession of strikes to shut the Braves down, bringing the crowd noise to a new level. When Justin Smoak stepped to the plate , the energy in the air was tangible. Smoak clocked in a double while the crowd cheered wildly, followed by a single from Jeff Rea. Knowing that it could mean trouble , slugger Gaston was thrown a walk, much to his disappointment , although it loaded the bases for Kyle Russell. Unfortunately Russell struck out on a questionable pitch that appeared to be ball four, bringing Reese Havens to the plate. With the crowd behind him and his team- mates on base and ready to run , Havens brought the count to two and two before cracking a neat single past the Braves ' div- ing second baseman , bringing in Smoak for the win and the fans to their feet. The Kettlers still hold the top spot in the Western Division. They face the Cardinals tonight in Orleans. Kettleers... KATHLEEN SZMIT PHOTOS SMALL FRY - Mets bat boy, #28, Jack Harrington teams with pal Sean Corbett to help entertain the crowd duringthe traditional Chicken Dance.The two hammy buds were a real hit. CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:14 with no hits. Most pitchers would step out of the game, ready for relief. Charlie Furbush certainly isn't most pitch- ers. Proving exactly why he was chosen to be the Cape League Ail-Star starting pitcher for tomorrow's big game in South Yarmouth, Furbush stayed in to the very end , firing 133 pitches with not a single hit. Earlier that afternoon , teammate James Darnell had mentioned having a sense of how it would go. "We haven't been able to beat (Bourne) yet," he said. "I have a good feeling about this game." Call Darnell psychic then because he was right on the money. The Bourne Braves were blown away by the Mets, with the win ending their four-game losing streak in a big way. With the shutout , Furbush became the second Cape Leaguer this season to score a no-hitter, the other having been thrown by Rhode Island native Terry Doyle, who plays for the Y-D Red Sox. While Furbushwas thrilled with hisvictory, he quickly offered credit to his backup. The offense of the boys in blue was stellar, with Harwich hero Jared McGuire slamming a three-run homer to left field in the third in- ning. Ramon Corona followed with a two-run double , with two RBIs tossed in by Darnell for good measure. Defensively the team had only one error (and a number of walks) in what proved to be a most memorable game. Furbush, who will be heading to LSU in the fall having transferred from St. Joseph's College in Maine, now has his sights set on this weekend'sAll-Star game. "It willbe fun," he said, no doubt still smiling. The Mets face the Wareham Gatemen in Wareham tonight. Mets...
