Minutemen Edge Past Hitmen, 5-4
A 4-RBI performance from the 30-year old third baseman Andy Brown helped the Middleboro Minutemen beat the Halifax Hitmen, 5-4. Middleboro, now 16-9, has played well in the early going.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Middleboro trailing 4-2, Brown jumped on a curveball from top prospect Jon Witten and hit a 3-run home run to right. With one swing, the Minutemen had a walk-off win.

Middleboro manager Manager B.K. commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
