The series everyone around the country is watching is one Cape League fans will like, too. Virginia and East Carolina have sent dozens of players to the Cape in the past few seasons and they’ll do it again this summer. So we’ve got a nice mix of alums and future stars in this series.
It also should be a pretty good series. The Cavaliers come in as the third-ranked team in the country, poised for a big season. East Carolina is ranked 16th and has an early chance to make a major statement.
Danny Hultzen (Hyannis ’10), one of the top freshmen in the country last year, is starting for Virginia in game one, against East Carolina’s Seth Maness (Bourne ’10). In game two, Robert Morey (Bourne ’10) goes against Kevin Brandt (Hyannis ’09 & ’10).
Of course, 2009 MVP Kyle Roller will be holding down the middle of the order for East Carolina. For Virginia, you’ve got Jarrett Parker, Dan Grovatt and Phil Gosselin.
Should be interesting to see what happens.
