The Orleans Firebirds edged the Wareham Gatemen 3‑2 in an extra‑inning showdown, a contest that hinged on tight pitching and a clutch rally in the final frame.
Casey Euper delivered a quality start for the Firebirds, logging six innings with a 1.62 ERA, while Wareham’s Peyton Lee limited the opposition to a single hit over five frames.
The decisive blow came in the bottom of the tenth when Adam Magpoc crossed the plate with the winning run, capping a late surge that also saw Tyler Harmony contribute key hits.
Assistant coach Ryan Hanigan emphasized the importance of relaxation and teamwork, noting that the recent influx of new players has already begun to reshape the clubhouse atmosphere.
A New Era of Momentum
With the Fenway Day experience on the horizon, the Firebirds hope to carry the energy from their recent roster additions and strong pitching performances into a season that could define their trajectory.
