Hailing from New England states to those much further south and west, collegiate baseball players showed off their skills at Spillane Field on Saturday with hopes of landing a remaining spot with one of the 10 Cape Cod Baseball League franchises.

Bright sun beat down on the field in 80-degree heat for the annual Frank Finn Cape League Invitational Tryout while coaches eyed players to complete their rosters.

Pre-season play begins next week in Wareham, when the Gatemen -- the Cape Cod League defending champs -- take on the Newport Gulls, the 2012 New England Collegiate Baseball League champions. That game starts at 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 9, at Spillane Field.

The Cape Cod League regular season kicks off on Wednesday, June 12. The Gatemen play the Chatham Anglers at home at 7 p.m.

Wareham Week will be chatting with Gatemen Head Coach Cooper Farris next week to hear what he's excited about this season. Stay with WarehamVillageSoup.com for that coverage!
