After a two‑game skid, the Worcester Bravehearts snapped back with back‑to‑back extra‑innings walk‑off victories over the Vermont Lake Monsters this weekend. In Saturday’s 6–5 win, Curt Boyd delivered a 3‑for‑4 performance with three RBIs, punctuated by a bottom‑of‑the‑10th walk‑off single.
Sunday’s finale mirrored that drama: another 6–5 finish sealed in extras. Third baseman Casey Wensley starred, going 3‑for‑5 with a double, two RBIs, and two steals, showcasing both power and speed. Vermont’s Cooper Berry also shone with three hits and two RBIs, but the Bravehearts’ clutch hitting prevailed once more.
These wins not only evened the weekend series but kept Worcester’s slim lead over Vermont intact in the FCBL standings. Now 36‑14 on the season and winners of three straight, the Bravehearts head to New Britain tonight at 6:35 PM to open a three‑game set against the fourth‑place Bees. A third straight win would underline Worcester’s late‑season surge and bolster hopes for a deep playoff run. Worcester has been the favorite for the entire summer and will look to continue its win streak to gain momentum before the playoffs.
