Taunton Gets 10-2 Road Win
Due in large part to shortstop Ryan Burcham, the Taunton Brum Bombers sunk the Whitman Panthers, 10-2. Burcham was 2-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Matt Halkias claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3.2 innings. His record stands at 7-3. The Brum Bombers have now won 4 straight.

Taunton won the game in part because of Josh Houtchens. The left fielder ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Brum Bombers ahead, 5-0. For the game, Houtchens had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"Not my idea of a good time," Whitman manager Manager B.P. said, when asked afterward about the game.
