HARWICH, Mass. — It’s been a long road to a Cape Cod Baseball League championship for the Harwich Mariners, who have finally broken their 21-year drought with a 2-1 win over the Cotuit Kettleers Thursday night before 6,133 fans at Whitehouse Field.
“It’s been 21 long years,” said Commissioner Paul Galop as he presented the Arnold Mycock Trophy to Harwich manager Steve Englert. “Here’s a little token of appreciation. It’s all yours, Harwich.”
Mark Fleury (North Carolina) came in as a pinch hitter for Alex Hilliard (Vanderbilt) in the bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded and popped a fly ball into right center field that escaped the glove of Cotuit’s Brett Jackson (Cal-Berkeley), bringing home the tying and winning runs.
