Brighton Braves 4, South Boston Saints 3
Braves break through first on a Glantz triple, scoring on a Coscione hit to left. Saints even it up on a Tenney walk and a Wojnar double to left.
Braves retake the lead on a Joyce double, Botelho RBI single and tack on 2 more insurance runs on a McKenzie single, Coscione RBI triple and Joyce RBI grounder.
Saints manage only one in the 6th after Braves pitching walks the bases loaded with no outs. Wojnar hits a Sac Fly to center to score Tenney, but Bireley who came in relief gets a shallow pop up to center and a force at 2nd to end the threat.
Bireley hits Oliva to lead off the 7th who eventually scores on a Graham RBI single with 2 outs. Graham gets to 2nd on a pass ball. As Graham takes off for 3rd, Bireley bears down and K's the next Saints batter to end the game.
With the win & Beacons loss, the Braves clinch a playoff berth and Steve DeFusco gets to taste playoff baseball for the 1st time is his 13 year YBL career.
