A late surge and some clutch hitting handed the Red Sox their second win in a row. They defeated the Harwich Mariners 5-4, and have now improved their record to 17-11-2.

The Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox bounced back from a crushing 15-3 loss to the Orleans Firebirds with a 7-0 win against the Falmouth Commodores last night. In his last start of the summer, Ian Seymour (Virginia Tech) threw six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Seven different batters in the Y-D lineup recorded at least one hit.

Following an outstanding pitching performance against the Anglers, the Red Sox looked like a different team on Saturday night. The Orleans Firebirds had everything going for them, en route to a 15-3 victory over Y-D. It was ugly from the beginning, but hopefully the Sox can quickly forget about this one and put it behind them.n

Six days after throwing five scoreless innings in a 4-0 win against the Orleans Firebirds, Ledgend Smith (Oklahoma) retired the first 11 batters of the high-powered Chatham Anglers offense. He gave up just two hits and no runs in six innings of work. The Red Sox and Anglers tied 1-1 and are tied for first in the East Division.

After struggling both at the plate and on the mound for three straight games, the Red Sox bounced back and ended their losing streak on Thursday night. They defeated the Brewster Whitecaps 5-3 and are now tied with the Chatham Anglers for first place in the East Division.

Despite outhitting the Brewster Whitecaps 11 to 10 and striking out just twice, the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox dropped their third straight game, 7-4. On a brighter note, Cleveland Indians starter Shane Bieber ? who played for Y-D in 2015 ? was named the All-Star Game MVP Tuesday night after striking out the side. Georgia Tech infielder Luke Waddell ? who played for the Red Sox last summer and temporarily this summer ? is tearing it up for Team USA, batting .364 at the top of the lineup.

The Red Sox lost their second game in a row on Tuesday night as they fell to the Gatemen 13-2. Wareham had been struggling as of late, allowing double digit runs in each of their previous three games entering this one. It?s becoming more clear by the day that the Sox are having a tough time catching their breath, as they have now played in 12 straight games and don?t have a scheduled off day until the All-Star game on July 21st.

Former Coca-Cola Pitcher of the Week John Beller (USC) wasn’t as sharp as usual last night, giving up five hits and three runs in four innings of work. Despite a comeback effort by the offense, the second-place Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox lost 4-2 to the last-place Harwich Mariners. Wyatt Young (Pepperdine) and Brad Beesley (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) each had two hits, and Austin Wells (Arizona) extended his hit streak to seven games.
