The Gatemen delivered in a big way on a beautiful summer night in Boston on Wednesday, as game MVP Zach Wilson and fellow Wareham teammates helped as the West All-Stars beat the East All-Stars 5-0 in the Cape Cod League All-Star Game at Fenway Park.

Pitching was the story for the first four innings.

On the West team, Cotuit's Austin Wood, of St. Petersburg, Bourne Brave Grayson Garvin, of Vanderbilt, Gateman Max Perlman, of Harvard, and Y-D's Tyler Ray, of Troy, held the high-powered East squad scoreless.

Brewster Whitecap Andrew Gagnon, of Long Beach State, Orleans Firebird Marcus Stoman, of Duke, Chatham's Derek Self, of Louisville, and Harwich Mariner Matty Ott, of Louisiana State University, each made their innings count for the East, combining to allow only two hits over four shutout innings.

The Gatemen's own Tyler Bream, of Liberty University, broke the scoreless play with a single in the top of the fifth off of Harwich pitcher Braden Kapteyn, of Kentucky. Bream moved to second on a wild pitch, then subsequently stole third, and rode home on another wild pitch.

The West added to their lead by roughing up East pitcher Kyle Simon, a Brewster Whitecap from University of Arizona. Hyannis' Johnny Ruettiger, from Arizona State, stroked a leadoff double and moved to third on a wild pitch. East shortstop Joe Panik, from St. John's University, kept the score at 1-0 by throwing out Ruettiger at the plate on Wilson's grounder up the middle. But Panik's efforts went in vain when Casey McElroy, from Auburn, drove in Cotuit designated-hitter Jordan Leyland, UC-Irvine, for a 2-0 lead.

Now operating with some breathing room, the West pitching staff continued to shine. Gatemen standout Jed Bradley, from Georgia Tech, Falmouth southpaw Christian Jones, from University of Oregon, Kettleer AJ Achter, Michigan State, and Bourne's RJ Alvarez, from Florida Atlantic, strung together four more unblemished innings and kept the shutout intact.

"Our guys pitched great," West field manager Harvey Shapiro said. "It isn't too taxing when you have nine great pitchers in the bullpen. It's very stress free."

The West continued the onslaught in the seventh. Gateman Tony Caldwell, from Auburn University, tripled into the right-field corner and scored on a wild pitch by Logan Verret, from Baylor University. KC Serna (Oregon) then walked, and moved to second when Verret's pickoff attempt landed in the photographer's section adjacent to the home dugout. Serna scored on a double by Wilson. Leyland followed with a single to score Wilson, making the score 5-0.

Brewster's Colton Murray, from Kansas, and Harwich's Adam Morgan, from Alabama, stopped the bleeding, pitching two scoreless innings. Bourne's Tony Zych, from Louisville, was charged with keeping the shutout intact for the West and did so with a flourish, dispatching the East without event in the ninth.

"They got some key hits in some key situations," East manager Scott Pickler said. "They hit the ball and found some holes, and their pitching was great. You have to tip your cap to them."

Wilson was named MVP of the victorious West team, while starting pitcher Caleb Ramsey, from University of Houston and playing for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, was selected MVP of the East.

"I was surprised," Wilson said the next day. "I was just gathering up my stuff in the dugout, somebody came over and tapped me on the shoulder and said that they were going to call my name up."

A California native, Wilson nevertheless said he's a Red Sox fan thrilled to have had his first opportunity to play at Fenway Park.

"It was easily the highlight of the summer."

Honorary captains delivering the first pitch were long-time MLB player and manager Bobby Valentine, and newly minted Cape League Hall of Famer and current GM of the NHL's New Jersey Devils, Lou Lamoriello.
