Coaching Staff: Mike Roberts, Field Manager - Jeff Ditch - Paul Poplin - Mike Terhune

 

The 2004 Kettleers Gave Everything They Had

In his first Cape League stint since taking the Wareham Gatemen to the 2000 Divisional Series, newly returned head coach Mike Roberts was put to the test when he started watching his multitalented ballplayers fall like flies due to injuries. Compounded with the unexpected departure of players like catcher Brett Hayes to Team USA, the loss of players like Justin Maxwell in early July, Chase Headley with 10 games remaining at season's end and a number of other bumps and bruises, Roberts' goal of once again heading to the playoffs was cut short.

    Regardless, his boys kept charging onward and had one last chance to snag second place and a playoff spot when they went to Hyannis to play the crosstown rival Mets on August 8, the last day of the regular season. In a game that bore a playoff-like atmosphere, Cotuit took it to 11 innings, but fell just shy when Mike Costanzo belted one off the wall to win it. Nevertheless, Cotuit led the league in stolen bases in 2004 and boasted one of only seven hitters to finish over .300 (LSU's Bryan Harris at .308).

Season Highlights

• Florida Southern righty submariner Ryan Cahalan goes 6-1 with 2.74 ERA

• Bryan Harris (LSU) was one of only 7 Cape Leaguers to hit over .300 at .308

• Geoff Strickland, Nathan Emrick and Bryan Harris are named CCBL All-Stars

• The Kettleers finished first in the league in stolen bases with 75

• The Kettleers played in 22 one-run games, winning 10 of them

• Cotuit was in first place in the Western Division until early July
