A Late Surge Falls Short
The Bourne Braves entered their matchup against the Falmouth Commodores with a commanding 10‑0 lead evaporating in the sixth inning, only to watch a late rally fizzle out in a 13‑9 defeat.
After a quiet first five frames, the Braves erupted with a three‑run blast from Josiah Overbeek in the sixth, followed by a solo homer from Matt Bolton in the seventh that trimmed the gap to 10‑5. Both players were later recognized for their contributions, with Bolton earning Player of the Game honors.
The Commodores answered back in the bottom of the seventh, plating three runs highlighted by Tommy Harrison’s two‑run homer, shifting momentum decisively in their favor.
Bourne refused to go quietly, scoring four runs in the ninth inning, but the late surge wasn’t enough to erase the earlier deficit, leaving the final score at 13‑9.
The loss nudges the Hyannis Harbor Hawks to within three points of Bourne in the West Division race, adding pressure as the Braves prepare for their penultimate home game against the Harwich Mariners.
