The Bourne Braves fell to a 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Wareham Gatemen on Friday night, marking their fourth consecutive loss and dropping them out of first place in the West division.
Manager Scott Landers said the team’s energy and focus have been lacking, urging a quick turnaround before the next game.
Shortstop Ryker Waite answered with a solo home run in the first inning, his second consecutive game with a homer, but the offense could not build on the early spark.
DH Burke-Lee Maebus contributed a three‑hit effort, including two base hits and his fourth double of the summer, yet the rally fizzled.
Looking ahead
With three games left, Bourne faces a home doubleheader against the Harwich Mariners and Y‑D Red Sox before closing the season on the road at Cotuit.
Landers emphasized the need for urgency, while Maebus expressed confidence that the club can reverse the trend swiftly.
