Bourne Braves Snap Losing Streak with Walk‑Off Victory
The Bourne Braves erupted in the tenth inning on Tuesday night, as Blake Schaaf delivered a walk‑off RBI single that turned a 3‑3 tie into a 4‑3 win over the Cotuit Kettleers.
The comeback was set up earlier when Brice Estep launched a solo home run in the seventh frame, knotting the score and shifting momentum.
Dawson Park opened the scoring with a leadoff double for Cotuit, and Hunter Warren drove in the first run, while Andrew Costello’s double in the third put the Braves ahead 2‑1 before Luke Costello’s deep fly added another run.
The victory snapped a four‑game winless streak for Bourne and vaulted the club back into a tie for first place in the West Division, underscoring the competitive nature of the league.
The Braves will look to carry the momentum into Friday’s showdown with the Brewster Whitecaps, a matchup that could further shape the division race.
