Howdy, our Grandson, a LHP for Angelo State, sophomore, just got called to play (pitch) for the Bourne Braves in Cape Cod. We are very proud of that. However, we do not know almost anything about it, other than it is a wooden bat league. It always seemed in the past that our best Aggies went there to play summer ball. Looking at the bio's of the pitchers on the team, they are all Wake, Arkansas, Vandy and one TTU boys. That seems like a step up for a Div II pitcher from Angelo, if he does well would this be a tryout for a Div I team, it seems it may be. As stated, know nothing of the Cape Cod league, Anyone, Anyone?

Probably have seen this???

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Cod_Baseball_League

And…

"Bourne won its second consecutive and fourth overall CCBL championship of the modern era by defeating the Orleans Firebirds to win the 2023 finals series. Teams from Bourne/Sagamore have claimed nine championship titles since the league's beginnings, and over 100 players have gone on to play in Major League Baseball."

Those games and towns are a great experience. Highly recommend going up there at some point.

We went and watched a game in Falmouth earlier this month and it was an awesome experience. A lot of Cape Cod guys end up getting drafted. It is very high quality baseball, up close and personal. We stayed in Boston, which is 1.5 hours away. Wish we had spent more time on The Cape.

Definitely go if y'all can!
