The Bourne Braves entered the night with a 5‑1 advantage over the Brewster Whitecaps, having built an early lead that seemed to set the tone for a comfortable win.
Luke Costello was the catalyst for Bourne, delivering three hits and driving in four runs, marking a season‑high performance that had the crowd buzzing.
A Late‑Inning Turnaround
But the Whitecaps were not ready to fold. In the bottom of the seventh inning they exploded for nine runs, a surge that flipped the scoreboard and left the Braves scrambling.
The rally was fueled by a combination of timely hitting and aggressive base running, while the Braves' pitching staff was forced to bring in three relievers to stem the tide.
Will Whelan had done his part earlier, tossing five innings and allowing just a single run, and Landon White had retired the side in a flawless sixth with two strikeouts, but the seventh proved costly.
The loss dropped Bourne to 6‑6‑3 in their first fifteen games of the season, a reminder that even strong starts can be undone by late‑inning drama.
Looking ahead, the Braves will travel to face the Hyannis Harbor Hawks on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET, hoping to rebound from the setback.
