On Wednesday, June 24th, the 2026 Falmouth Commodores scholarship recipients were honored during the pre-game ceremony against the Chatham Anglers.
The Chuck Sturtevant Outstanding Service Award is given annually in recognition of Sturtevant’s many years of dedication to both the Commodores and the Cape Cod Baseball League. The award is presented to an individual who has been involved with the team as a bat kid, a long-term host family member, an intern, or another significant volunteer. This year's recipient is Josh Matta.
