Cape League Baseball Returning to NESN in 2023

Cape Cod, MA –The Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) is excited to announce that four Cape League games will be broadcast on New England Sports Network (NESN) in 2023.

The 2023 NESN package will feature three regular season games, in addition to the Cape League All-Star Game. This will mark the fourth consecutive season that a package of CCBL games will be broadcast on NESN.

"We're excited to have Cape League games back on NESN in 2023, including the Cape League All-Star Game for a second straight year," said Andrew Lang, President of the Cape Cod Baseball League. "Having these games broadcast on the region's leading sports network will allow New England baseball fans to watch the nation's premier collegiate summer baseball league this summer."

The first NESN broadcast will be on June 11th at 5pm, as the Orleans Firebirds host the Harwich Mariners in their home-opener. The second NESN broadcast will take place June 25th at 7pm, when the Falmouth Commodores host the Harwich Mariners.

The third NESN broadcast will be on June 26th at 7pm, when the Falmouth Commodores host the Hyannis Harbor Hawks. This broadcast will be a fitting celebration of the CCBL’s 100-year anniversary, as Falmouth and Hyannis were two of the original four CCBL teams when the league was officially formed in 1923.

The final NESN broadcast will be the 2023 Cape League All-Star Game on July 22nd at 8pm. The showcase event, being held in Harwich, will feature the biggest stars from across all ten teams.

Jon Meterparel will return for a third season as the play-by-play commentator for CCBL broadcasts on NESN. He’ll be joined by CCBL Hall of Fame Manager, John Schiffner as the color commentator.
