CAPE COD BASEBALL LEAGUE Pitching, timely hitting power Gatemen to win

June 19, 2008 6:00 AM

BOURNE — Wareham Brandon Workman handled the a little easier than the weather.

"It's 98 degrees back home," said Workman, who hails from Bowie, Texas. "It was colder than I'm used to. I'll take the hot weather any day."

It was 61 degrees when the game started a little after 7 p.m. and the temperature gauge dropped about 10 degrees after the sun went down and the lights came on in the Gatemen's 6-0 win over the Braves at Dorn Park.

A 6-foot-5 right-hander from the University of Texas, Workman was all business on the mound. He gave up only two hits in six innings and was happy with his first start for the Gatemen (2-2).

"There's always room for improvement, but I was happy with the way I threw the ball my first time out," said Workman, who pitched about 50 innings as a starter/reliever for the Longhorns. "I had to work my way back from a lot of 3-0 counts, but I made some good pitches when I had to. I'll be able to build on this and get better."

Workman notched eight and walked only two batters for the Gatemen, who also got three scoreless innings from , a left-hander from the University of Arkansas, Jimmy Saris, a right-hander from Georgetown, and closer Chris Hicks, a left-hander from Georgia Tech.

"We needed to get some guys some early season work," Wareham manager Cooper Farris said. "Brandon threw the ball really well. He gave us six strong innings and we got three good efforts out of our bullpen."

The Gatemen opened the scoring with a two-out rally in the top of the third inning that gave Workman a 4-0 lead to work with.

Bourne starter Tyler Blandford, a right-hander from Oklahoma State, dug a deep hole for himself by loading the bases on walks to Jake Lemmerman, a shortstop from Duke, Connor Rowe, an outfielder from Texas, and Ryan Pineda, a second baseman from Cal State Northridge.

Brett Eibner, a designated hitter/outfielder from Arkansas, knocked in two runs with a ground-ball single up the middle and Steve Liddle, an outfielder from Vanderbilt, followed with a bouncer up the middle that made it 3-0.

Raynor Campbell, a third baseman from Baylor, then plated another run with a hit-and-run single and the Gatemen went on to cap their scoring with two more runs in the sixth on a bloop single to right center by Rowe and an infield hit by Pineda.

The Braves (2-2), who stranded solo runners in the first and third innings against Workman, went down in order against him in the fifth and sixth. They put runners on first and third with one out in the sixth, but Workman came back strong to get the final two outs on a and a pop fly to left field.

Keuchel, Saris and Hicks held the Braves to four hits the rest of the way and that made Farris a happy man.

"We got a nice combination of pitching and hitting tonight. Our pitchers made some tough pitches, we played some good defense and it was good to see us rally like that in the third," Farris said. "To win in this league, you have to get some two-out hits and we did a good job keeping that inning going."

The Gatemen host Yarmouth-Dennis for a 7 p.m. game at Spillane Field on Friday.
