Hitmen Move on to Round 2
Wednesday, October 14th , 2026
Halifax second baseman Joseph Wilder couldn't hide his reaction when asked about being named MVP of the Round 1.
"It's a nice honor," he said, failing to suppress a wide smile. The trophy was presented to Wilder moments after his club eliminated the Bourne Brawlers to advance to the Round 2.
Halifax won the final game by a score of 2-1 at Quincy Grounds and took the series 4-2.
"We won the series and that's the main thing," Wilder said. "They were a tough team and we didn't want to take anything for granted."
For the series, Wilder hit .393 with a .414 on-base percentage. He had 2 home runs, drove in 5 RBI and scored 10 runs.
"He was tough to stop and that's a big reason they're there and we're here," said a dejected Bourne manager Manager E.K..
The Halifax Hitmen don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Middleboro Minutemen - Wareham Wickies series. That series is tied at 3 games apiece. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
