The Chatham Athletic Association announced today the Anglers broadcast team for the 2018 season.

Cooper Boardman, a freshman at Syracuse University, and Josh Schaefer, a sophomore at Arizona State University, will provide play-by-play for all regular season and postseason games on the Cape Cod Baseball Network. Their first live broadcast will be June 12 when Chatham hosts Wareham.

"We're excited to welcome Cooper and Josh to the Chatham family from two of the nation's top communications schools," CAA Media Consultant Dan D'Uva said. "Their passion for baseball and storytelling will resonate with anyone who tunes in. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and ambition to excel promise a fun and informative broadcast each night."
