The evening’s headline came from Bourne, where the Braves orchestrated a dramatic comeback, plating three runs in the bottom of the ninth to edge the Brewster Whitecaps 6‑5. Luke Costello delivered the decisive blow with a two‑run single that knotted the score, while John Stuetzer followed with a sacrifice fly that supplied the winning RBI. Andrew Costello had opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first inning, setting an early tone for the hosts.
Costello’s early blast gave Bourne a 1‑0 advantage, but it was his brother Luke who sparked the ninth‑inning surge, driving in two runs with a timely single. John Stuetzer’s subsequent sacrifice fly not only plated the go‑ahead run but also sealed the victory, underscoring the team’s depth and resilience.
