Success came early for YD as they secured two more in the top of the second. Matt Winaker (Stanford) put runners on second and third with his ground rule double down the left field line to set the stage. Falmouth’s Jake Bird (UCLA) committed a balk, forcing the runner on third home and giving the Sox the 2-0 lead. Nolan Brown (Texas Christian) proceeded to single up the middle, pushing YD’s lead to 3-0. Bird was relieved after 1.2 innings of three run baseball, for Falmouth.

That way they’re chasing us the whole game instead of us chasing them,” YD manager Scott Pickler said, of the early lead YD got. With room to breath, the Yarmouth Dennis Red Sox were able to calm their nerves and play baseball as they always would. They were able to keep the game at a 3-0 lead and to cruise to victory over the Falmouth Commodores, making this years win, a 3peat.
