The Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox improved to 4-0 with a 4-1 victory over the Chatham Anglers on Tuesday night, a result that underscores the team’s early dominance in the league.
Reliever Peyton Rodgers delivered a standout performance, tossing four and one-third innings without allowing a run while scattering just two hits and two walks, striking out three batters. He mixed a sharp slider with two-seam and four-seam fastballs to keep the Anglers off balance.
Key moments in the game
The breakthrough came in the sixth inning when Phoenix Call singled, stole second and advanced to third on Ethan Ball’s single. Ball’s subsequent steal of third set up a wild pitch that brought the game to a 1-1 tie, and later Johnston’s walk forced another wild pitch that plated the second run.
Jake Souders capped the rally with an RBI single to center, driving in Johnston and extending the lead to 3-1. An additional run scored in the seventh when Ball was hit by a pitch, ultimately sealing a 4-1 final margin.
The Red Sox are scheduled to meet again on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. EST in Wareham, where they will look to extend their unbeaten streak against a familiar opponent.
