Down Goes Taunton, 9-6, to Bridgewater
Bridgewater and Taunton got after it at Rail Cats Field.

In the 9-6 Bridgewater win over Taunton, the impact of Kody Hunt was substantial. Hunt went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Matt Rothschild locked down his 21st save.

Bridgewater used the timely hitting of C.J. Vance to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Buccaneers on top, 8-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Vance.

With the win, the Buccaneers sit at 68-65.
