Taunton Picks Up Another L
Middleboro parlayed a decent outing from starter Joe Gower into a solid win over the Taunton Brum Bombers. The final score was 7-3. Taunton has now lost 6 consecutive games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Nick Lear? The Middleboro shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Minutemen on top, 5-1. For the game, Lear had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Lear.
