Menlo Park native Chris Fitzgerald will return to the booth for his second summer in Chatham alongside newcomer Brandon Liebhaber, who hails from Los Angeles. Fitzgerald, a junior at the University of Oregon, and Liebhaber, a sophomore at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, will call all 44 regular season and playoff games for the Anglers this summer on the Cape Cod Baseball Network.
