Even the weather is cooperating with the Bourne Braves.
The Braves hosted Brewster on Thursday in the league’s only game of the night. After rain delayed the first pitch, the teams had a window for getting some innings in. Bourne took advantage, winning 3-1 as the game was called after seven innings due to another round of rain.
The Braves are now 7-0-2, still unbeaten as we approach the two-week mark of the regular season.
They scored first after the rain delay on Thursday, getting a run in the bottom of the first on a Cayden Wallace (Alabama) RBI single. Brewster tied the game in the second inning, but Wallace struck again in the fifth inning. He smacked a two-run homer, his second of the season, to put the Braves ahead.
Two Bourne pitchers held Brewster to just the one run on three hits. Andrew Taylor (Central Michigan) struck out three and allowed the run in three innings. Austin Parsley (UNC Greensboro) was great out of the bullpen, striking out five and allowing two hits in four scoreless innings.
WHAT TO WATCH
Weather permitting, back to a full slate on Friday. Bourne has a six-point lead on second place Falmouth in the West Division. The Commodores will be next in line to try to beat the Braves when they host a 6 p.m. game.
