It was not a good day for baseball yesterday, with rain forcing postponements of four of the five games on the schedule.
But the weather didn’t deter Brewster and Y-D from playing good baseball in the only game that did happen. The Whitecaps and Red Sox both got clean pitching performances and neither team made an error. Two runs in the seventh for Brewster proved to be the difference as the Whitecaps posted a 2-0 victory.
Brandon Love (Mercer) got the win for Brewster with six strong. He struck out five, walked one and allowed only two hits in six scoreless innings.
And the Brewster offense made a winner out of him. Y-D starter Alex Gonzalez (Oral Roberts) didn’t allow a hit until the fourth and was still cruising in the seventh when Brewster pushed through. With a runner on, Taylor Davis (Morehead State) smacked a two-run homer that gave Brewster all the offense it needed.
The Whitecaps are now two points out of first place at 12-9-2. Y-D dropped to 10-12-2.
What to Watch
Game: After playing each other on three consecutive days at the end of June, Hyannis and Cotuit will meet again tonight at 5 p.m. at Lowell Park.
Player: Chris Beck (Georgia Southern) is scheduled to start for Cotuit. He’s been a hard-luck loser several times, but has been impressive all summer.
Great blog, keeping me from working on articles.
