Thanks very much to the Commodore players and coaches for another exciting and successful season.

Art to be Auctioned

The Commodores are raising funds to build a new press box and renovate the dugouts at Arnie Allen Diamond. One of the efforts involves working with the Falmouth Artists Guild.

Artists will create works with Commodore and baseball related themes that will be auctioned off with all of the proceeds donated to the building fund. All of the works will be featured on our website here as they become available.

Falmouth 6 Cotuit 3

The Falmouth Commodores forced game three in the Western Division Playoffs by beating Cotuit 6-3 at Arnie Allen Diamond before 2418 fans Sunday night. The rubber game will be played in Cotuit on Monday at 3pm.

Orleans 5 Falmouth 0

The Falmouth Commodores could not find a way to crack the solid Orleans pitching Monday night. Falmouth lost 5-0 in front of 1,200 fans at Arnie Allen Diamond. Jorge Reyes earned the start for Falmouth. He pitched six innings of scoreless baseball, until he gave up a solo blast in the 7th. Orleans would add four more in the eighth. Reyes went 7 1/3 innings giving up five earned runs on six hits, 5 K’s and 2 walks. Preston Claiborne and Nick Tepesch pitched in relief. They combined for no runs, one hit, 3 K’s, and one walk.

Falmouth put up a brilliant defensive show for the fans. Joey Wong made a fantastic off-balance throw to first base in the 2nd and Darin Ruf made an amazing foul catch in the 5th. Trevor Coleman and David Gustafson went 2 for 4 for the Commodores.

The Commodores will conclude their regular season home schedule against Wareham Wednesday evening at 7:00pm.

Falmouth 3 Bourne 2

Michael Thomas blasted a walk-off solo home run over the left field wall in the 12^th inning. The Commodores won the game in dramatic fashion 3-2 against the Bourne Braves. A.J. Pollock tied the game for Falmouth with an RBI double in the 3^rd. Darin Ruf hit an RBI single to give Falmouth the 2-1 lead.

Bourne would come back to tie it in the 7^th, but Michael Thomas’ drive that probably hit Morse Pond School kept Falmouth in first place in the CCBL Western Division. Joey Wong, Darin Ruf, and A.J. Pollock went 2 for 5 and Michael Thomas went 2 for 3 to awe the crowd of 800 at Arnie Allen Diamond.

Alex Wilson earned the nod for Falmouth. He went 3 innings, giving up one run on 2 hits with 4 walks and 1 K. Rex Brothers, Preston Claiborne, Ben Tootle, and Evan Danielli pitched in relief. T hey combined for 7 hits, 1 run, 4 walks, and 15 K’s. Danielli earned the win for Falmouth and couldn’t have been happier on his birthday.

Falmouth will travel to Cotuit on Sunday at 4:30pm to continue their quest for the Western Division crown.
