Three Anteaters lauded at historic Fenway Park

UC Irvine baseball standouts Bryce Stowell and Eric Pettis, as well as former Orange Coast College star and future Anteater Cory Olson, will be recognized as Cape Cod League All-Stars at Fenway Park before tonight’s game between the Angels and Red Sox.

The players, as well as the 10 Cape Cod League managers, including UCI assistant coach Bob Macaluso, will be recognized on the field and presented with a plaque by two of the 10 Red Sox players who played in the Cape Cod League.

Stowell and Pettis, both pitchers, made the All-Star team by virtue of strong performances for the Bourne Braves.

Olson plays for the Chatham A’s and Macaluso guides the Brewster Whitecaps.

Olson’s East team posted an 8-6 win over the West, including Stowell and Pettis, in the June 30 All-Star contest Saturday at Chatham, Mass.

Stowell threw one scoreless inning to highlight the locals’ participation in the All-Star game.

Through Monday’s games, Stowell was 2-1 with a 1.36 earned-run average. He had struck out 42 and walked seven in 33 innings, while allowing 21 hits.

Pettis was 2-0 with five saves and a 2.79 ERA through Monday. He had allowed 11 hits and fanned 16 in 19 1/3 innings.

Olson, an outfielder, entered Tuesday’s action hitting .357 with nine RBIs.
