Falmouth plays at home for the Cape Cod Baseball League’s 2019 season opener on Monday, June 10. First pitch gets thrown at 6:05 pm at Guv Fuller field (behind the town Rec Center at 790 Main St). Head coach Jeff Trundy will be leading the team for his 21st year. The Commodores have made the finals several times, but last won the championship in 1980.
Cape Cod Baseball is America’s premier summer league. You’ll be watching the best college players in their last season before they turn pro – and it’s free! There are 25 former Commodores among 300 CCBL veterans currently playing in the MLB. Falmouth alumni include Jacoby Ellsbury, Javier López and Kevin Cash from the 2007 Red Sox World Series team; as well as Mark Loretta, Tino Martinez and Darin Erstad; plus Pirates rising star Kevin Newman.

There’s no admission cost but the Cape Cod Baseball League is self-supporting, so donations are appreciated. A $20 advance Kids’ Club membership buys your child exclusive souvenirs plus access to special activities on the field, such as 7th inning costume parades, or running the bases after the game.
Go ’Dores!
Falmouth Heights Cottage is just 6 minutes walk from Fuller Field. Take your family to watch exciting summer baseball during June and July, and hopefully into August playoffs as well. Be sure to indulge in a traditional post-game soft serve at Dairy Queen on your walk home.
