ABOVE: A marked Barnstable Police unit, lights and sirens activated, passes HN on Old Stage Road in an effort to intercept the Sandwich Police pursuit. [with HN overlay] SANDWICH, MASSSACHUSETTS ? A Sandwich police officer initiated a high-speed pursuit Saturday evening that began in Sandwich, continued through Mashpee and Barnstable, and eventually reached reckless speeds of 125 mph on Route 3 in Plymouth before state police terminated the chase over public safety concerns. According to radio transmissions monitored by Hyannis News, Sandwich police had stopped the vehicle earlier. The driver told officers he was headed to his girlfriend's house just off Route 130. It remains unclear from the radio traffic whether the driver fled that initial stop or whether the pursuit began sometime afterward. (The driver's name was not mentioned in the audio captured by HN.) The driver, known to pursuing officers, has a history of fentanyl and crack charges. Responding officers were warned he could be under the influence. Multiple marked-lanes violations were observed as the vehicle crossed into Mashpee. Mashpee police officers were notified. Speeds on town roads reached 60 mph. The suspect vehicle turned onto Route 130 southbound near Great Neck Road North. Barnstable police were alerted as the chase approached Route 28. Officers reported the driver was ?reaching around? in the front seat. As the vehicle entered Barnstable on Route 28 eastbound, Barnstable units were dispatched toward the pursuit. A Sandwich officer asked dispatch to ask Barnstable units about possible stop sticks while speeds remained at about 60 mph near Jimmy's Ice Cream parlor on Route 28. The chase then turned north onto Route 149 in Marstons Mills toward Route 6. State police were notified shortly before the vehicle entered Route 6 westbound, where speeds climbed to 110 mph. A Sandwich supervisor ordered all Sandwich units to terminate the pursuit just before the Chase Road exit. State police quickly located and re-engaged the vehicle still fleeing northbound on Route 3 from the Sagamore Bridge area. Pursuit speeds began around 80 mph, quickly exceeded 100 mph, and peaked at 125 mph, according to state police radio traffic. Troopers determined the vehicle was registered in Yarmouth and that the driver had warrants and prior assault-and-battery charges on his adult record. State police units equipped with stop sticks?including one with a StarChase tracking device?moved into position. A state police lieutenant, citing the driver's weaving through traffic and high-speed passing in the breakdown lane, ordered troopers to terminate the pursuit. Units were authorized to follow from a distance without emergency lights. The vehicle was last seen in the area of Exit 13 on Route 3 northbound in Plymouth. Hyannis News followed the chase at a distance and discontinued coverage at Exit 3 in Plymouth after troopers terminated. Sandwich police were contacted Monday morning for any updates and provided contact information for a sergeant who may be able to release further details. Official updates will be reported as they become available.  The following HN Video highlights pursuit radio transmission, along with HN dashcam footage?  [HN VIDEO  ?  PRESS PLAY] P.S. ?

Man Found Bleeding with Eye Bulging Out at Hyannis Park [HN Photos]
Sunday August 16, 2026
                  HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? Shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday, Barnstable Police responded to a loud noise complaint at Aselton Park on South Street and found a disturbing scene: one man severely injured and bleeding from a forehead wound with his eye bulging out, the other passed out and unresponsive. Officers arrived after a caller reported a group ?yelling on the green.? The injured man, a Hyannis resident, was bleeding heavily. Police immediately requested rescue. A Hyannis Fire Department ambulance crew treated him and loaded him onto a stretcher. As he was lifted into the ambulance, he mumbled what sounded like, ?I love everybody.? He was taken to Cape Cod Hospital. The second man, 27 years old, remained unconscious at first despite officers using sternum rubs and pressure points. When he finally came around, he was highly intoxicated, unsteady on his feet, and considered a danger to himself. He cooperated while being handcuffed and placed in a cruiser for transport to Barnstable Police Headquarters in protective custody. An initial conversation with police indicated the man could possibly be new in town, having been here for only around 48 hours. Police were still trying to figure out where he was from at the time of this report. Police first ensured both men were safe?one receiving medical attention, the other secured in custody. Investigators are still piecing together what happened before their arrival. It remains unclear whether a fight or assault caused the serious head injuries. The investigation at Aselton Park is active and ongoing, with no further details available at this time. Note: HN is working on audio and video from an earlier high-speed pursuit from the overnight that started in Sandwich, crossed into Mashpee and Barnstable, got onto the Mid-Cape, and sped over the bridge into Plymouth at speeds over 110 MPH. The pursuit was terminated due to reckless driving. HN will hopefully release the audio later today. Stay tuned! P.S. ? Today's Hytown Vignette is brought to you by The Prodigy? [CLICK IT/CRANK IT!

The Summer Sons: Cape Cod Baseball League
Saturday August 15, 2026
On a Cape Cod summer evening, on many a high school baseball field, you can enjoy our national pastime of yore for free. You will find packed bleachers, a small snack shop cooking up burgers and hot dogs, and picnic blankets and beach chairs ringing the area. Local community volunteers run the whole thing- from welcoming folks at the entrance to fundraising to hosting players in their homes. The coach and trainers get a stipend, but other than that, no one gets paid. It is all done for the love of the game.       We witnessed the culmination of the season-ending playoffs of theCape Cod Baseball League between Harwich Mariners and the Bourn Braves.  The Mariners won in the rubber match in the three game series. I have been persuaded to write about the Cape Cod League by the avid baseball fans in my midst and I am channeling John here because , as many of you know, I am not much of a baseball fan!   The Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL or Cape League) is a collegiate summer baseball wooden bat league. One of the nation's premier collegiate summer leagues, thousands of players have spent a summer on the Cape before later donning a big league uniform. That includes Hall of Famers like Frank Thomas and Jeff Bagwell and former stars like Nomar Garciaparra, Thurman Munson, Barry Zito and Jason Varitek. Current stars- including Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso, Chris Sale and George Springer- all wore jerseys for Cape Cod Summer League.       As early as the 1860s, baseball teams representing various Cape Cod towns and villages were competing against one another. The earliest newspaper account is of an 1867 game in Sandwich between the hometown ?Nichols Club? and the visiting Cummaquid team. Though not formalized as a league, the games provided entertainment for residents and summer visitors.       Players in the Cape Cod all live with host families who live on the Cape, becoming members of those families along the way. Hosts often refer to them as their ?summer sons?.   ?The league has enabled people to come together under the auspices of baseball, and build deep and abiding relationships,? says Boston Globe journalist Christopher Price, author of Baseball by the Beach: A History of America's National Pastime on Cape Cod. Price's grandparents met at a Barnstable game in the 1930s. ?The game connects generations over time. That's a legacy that any sport would be proud of.?
