School is Out, Summer Ball is In
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Summer baseball returns in full force for 2021. After the Covid-19 pandemic shut down many leagues across the country, most notably the Cape Cod Baseball League, the Boston College baseball team has placed 24 student-athletes in wood-bat collegiate summer leagues that open play as early as this week.
The historic Cape League features seven Eagles committed for this summer and hosts the latest opening day on June 20. Catcher Peter Burns (Reading, Mass.) returns to the Cape for his second stint with the Bourne Braves and left-hander Joey Walsh (Plymouth, Mass.), who is in line for a sixth-year of eligibility, is set up for a third summer with the Cotuit Kettleers.
