Scores
Bourne 5, Hyannis 1
Chatham 5, Brewster 5
Y-D 6, Cotuit 2
Wareham 5, Falmouth 4
Orleans 7, Harwich 5
Bourne 5, Hyannis 1
Bourne to 9-3-1, Hyannis to 5-7-1
- Bourne scored single runs in the second, third and fourth and never looked back
- Bourne's Kevin Hoef (Iowa) went 3-for-4 with two runs scored; Ben Guez (William & Mary) was 2-for-4
- Rick Zagone (Missouri) got the win with six innings of three-hit ball
- Austin Hudson (Central Florida) allowed three runs in seven innings, his best outing of the summer
- Hyannis has dropped four straight
Of note, player-style: Hoef is on fire for the Braves. He's hitting .438 to lead the league by a pretty wide margin. The sophomore third baseman has a league-best 21 hitsIt's a hot streak, for sure, and at this point in the season -- with so few at-bats -- that average can drop quickly. But the fact remains: Hoef is hot.
Chatham 5, Brewster 5
Chatham to 7-4-2, Brewster to 6-6-1
- For the second night in a row, Chatham blew a late lead and ended up in a tie game when darkness fell
- Brewster rallied with four in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game
- Yonder Alonso (Miami) capped the rally with an RBI single
- Chatham's Cliff Springston (Baylor) allowed one run on three hits in six innings
Of note, player-style: Chatham's Sean O'Brien (Virginia Tech) went 3-for-5, pushing his average to .333. He has an on-base percentage of .472.
Y-D 6, Cotuit 2
Y-D to 9-3-1, Cotuit to 7-6
- Y-D scored four in the first inning off Cotuit starter Chris Fetter (Michigan)
- A two-run double by Mike Tamsin (Northeastern) did the biggest damage
- Matt Wickswat (Santa Clara) took the hill in place of originally scheduled starter Scott Green (Kentucky) and pitched well, allowing two runs in six innings
- Green came on in relief and worked three prefect innings to pick up a save
Of note, player-style: Y-D's Sean Ochinko (LSU) went 2-for-3 and upped his average to .310. Ochinko is coming off his freshman season at LSU where he hit .277.
Wareham 5, Falmouth 4
Wareham to 3-10, Falmouth to 4-9
- With its third straight win, Wareham got within a game of Falmouth for fourth place; a few days ago the Gatemen had lost 10 in a row
- Wareham trailed 2-0 and 3-1 before getting a run in the fifth and three in the seventh
- Falmouth starter Kyle Gibson (Missouri) finally allowed his first run of the summer in this his third start, but he has yet to record a decision; he left with a lead
- Wareham's Dallas Keuchel (Arkansas) allowed three runs in five innings
- Dustin Dickerson (Baylor) knocked in the go-ahead run in the seventh
- Dickerson, Beamer Weems (Baylor) and Ike Davis (Arizona St.) all had two hits
Of note, player-style: Wareham's Blake Dean (LSU) is hitting .311 with two home runs and five RBI. The freshman is also a pitcher, but he's concentrating on hitting with the Gatemen. Doing a pretty good job, too.
Orleans 7, Harwich 5
Orleans to 9-4, Hariwch to 3-10
- After Harwich tied it with three in the fifth, Orleans answered with three of its own in the top of the sixth
- Orleans won its fourth straight, Harwich dropped its seventh in a row

- Orleans' Brad Boxberger (USC) allowed two earned in 4.1 innings
- Four relievers closed the door with Nick Christiani (Vanderbilt) getting his league-best fourth save
Of note, player-style: Orleans' Sam Brown (NC State) doesn't get much pub, but such is the plight of the middle reliever. In five appearances -- all out of the pen -- Brown hasn't allowed a run. He's also struck out 11 in 6.2 innings. He's only a freshman and he's 6-foot-5, 220 pounds.
