Mighty McGuire...

of playing in the Cape
League. 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."

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.

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.
