FALMOUTH, Mass. — The Cape Cod Baseball League took a much-needed All-Star break on Saturday in Yarmouth-Dennis.

But Falmouth was busy at the festivities. Along with CCBL home run leader Maika Niu swatting six long balls in the Home Run Derby, the Commodores had a league-leading nine players suit up for the All-Star Game on Saturday.

The ‘Dores had four starters selected — pitcher Trever Baumler, outfielders Niu and Antonio Morales and first baseman Kent Schmidt. They also added five reserves in infielders Adrian Lopez and Carl Schmidt, catcher Bear Harrison and relievers Jakob Schulz and Joe Sabbath. Despite the East’s 13-8 win, Falmouth’s players had numerous shining moments.

Here’s how all nine of Falmouth’s All-Stars fared on Saturday in the CCBL All-Star Game at Red Wilson Field:

Trever Baumler, RHP, TCU:

Through the Commodores’ first 28 games, Baumler was surgical. He posted a 0.92 ERA, allowing just two earned runs through five appearances (three starts). He also slid into Falmouth’s rotation to replace Kaden Echeman and Grayson Saunier after they left to prepare for the MLB Draft.

Baumler was selected as the West’s starting pitcher because of his stellar start, but he struggled on Saturday. The TCU product allowed three runs on three hits in one inning of work. He gave up back-to-back homers to Dalton Wentz and Dee Kennedy in the first, which put the East up 3-0.

Maika Niu, OF, Arkansas:

Niu’s spot as the West’s starting center fielder was a no-brainer. He entered the All-Star break leading the CCBL in OPS (1.032), slugging percentage (.630) and homers (seven), while also tying for the top spot with 20 RBIs. His success also led to his transfer from Marshall to Arkansas midway through the season.

In the game, Niu went 1-for-3. But his one hit was a big one. With the West trailing 4-0, Niu blooped a ball into center to score Morales from third, giving the East its first run of the day. In his other at-bats, Niu grounded into a double play to end the first and struck out swinging to lead off the fourth.

Antonio Morales, OF, Maryland:

Morales started off his season hot but cooled down in the last two weeks. He entered the break slashing .255/.366/.287 with just five RBIs, operating mostly out of the two or nine spots in the lineup. He’s also impressed defensively, including making an incredible diving catch against Cotuit and gunning down a runner at second versus Orleans.

He was the best of the bunch on Saturday, snagging the West All-Star Game MVP. Starting in right field, he singled on a line drive to center to open the bottom of the second and promptly stole second. He then scored on Niu’s RBI single. In his next at-bat in the fourth, he made it 10-4 East with an RBI double to center field, scoring Hyannis’ Ryan McKay.

Kent Schmidt, 1B, Georgia Tech:

Though Schmidt started off slow in the first few weeks of the season, he upped his numbers to a respectable .282/.367/.373 slashline. He also added two homers and came in clutch often with 16 RBIs. As a pure bat-to-ball hitter, Schmidt also totaled more walks (11) than strikeouts (nine).

On Saturday, he started at first base and went 0-for-2. Still, he reached base twice on a fielder’s choice and walk. After he walked in the fourth, he eventually scored on a McKay double to center.

Adrian Lopez, SS, USC:

Lopez has played just 20 games with Falmouth due to an early head injury and missing time for the MLB Draft. However, he started hot after returning from injury. Though he’s struggled as of late — hitting .235 with a .626 OPS — his early heroics earned him an All-Star Game bid.

In the game, Lopez entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He finished 0-for-2, grounding out to third baseman Maddox Molony, then striking out swinging in the eighth. At shortstop, though, he helped turn a seventh-inning double play against Y-D’s Yomar Carreras.

Carl Schmidt, INF, California:

After a mediocre first few weeks, Schmidt became a reliable leadoff option for Falmouth midway through the season. At the break, he had a slashline of .280/.360/.370 with one long ball and 10 RBIs. His signature moment came in a 4-for-5 game against Yarmouth-Dennis, which included his only homer so far on the Cape.

Schmidt received two plate appearances on Saturday and went 0-for-1. In his first time at the dish, he worked a walk off Orleans pitcher Cole Tryba, but he was eventually erased on a Jon LeGrande fielder’s choice. His second time up, he struck out looking to end his day.

Bear Harrison, C, Texas A&M

Harrison wasn’t announced with the list of initial All-Stars but was added as a replacement to the roster. In 17 games while rotating with former Commodores David McCann and Mark Quatrani, he slashed .233/.304/.367 while also smashing his only two homers in a 14-5 rout of Orleans. He was phenomenal defensively as well, catching eight runners stealing.

He was the only Commodore to go yard in the All-Star Game, too. In his first at-bat in the seventh, he got a 2-1 fastball from Tryba and absolutely demolished it over the center field wall, making the score 13-5 East. He grounded out his next time at bat, but his long ball proved his spot in the contest.

Jakob Schulz, LHP, Vanderbilt:

With Falmouth entering the break with the worst ERA in the league (5.04), Schulz has been one of its most reliable relievers, acting as its setup man. In nine appearances, he’s allowed just three earned runs, amounting to a 2.53 ERA. Though he has a WHIP of 1.41, he’s escaped the jams by notching two holds.

Despite the game already being decided, Schulz entered the game with one out in the bottom of the ninth and didn’t allow a baserunner. He sat down Brendan Lawson on strikes, then ended the contest by getting Carreras to ground out to second.

Joe Sabbath, RHP, Rhode Island:

Typically following Schulz, Sabbath has also given Falmouth consistency as its closer. In nine outings (12 innings), he’s posted a scintillating 0.75 ERA, only surrendering one run all year. He’s induced copious swings and misses, leading to his 18:6 strikeout to walk ratio at the break.

He was a bit shakier on Saturday but still did his job. He opened the bottom of the eighth and allowed singles to Molony and Cal Fisher before fanning Daniel Jackson for the second out of the frame. He was then pulled for Wareham’s Josh Butler, who kept his line clean by inducing an Aiden Robbins groundout.
