Jose Paulino and Harry Smith had 2 hits a piece, each adding clutch RBI's. Juan Parra led the Bombers offense with 3 hits and 2 stolen bases. Johnny Hayes chipped in with 2 hits and an RBI.

Anthony Del Prete delivered yet another clutch pitching performance for the Boston Bombers, who took game 2 of the BMBL Semi-Finals against the South Shore Spartans by a final of 7-1. Deli scattered 6 hits en route to the CG victory, giving up 1 ER and striking out 5. The host Spartans received another strong pitching performance by veteran left-hander Tim Troup, but some clutch Bombers 2-out hits proved to be the difference. Anthony Perry's 2-run single with 2 outs in top half of the second gave the Bombers a 3-0 lead that they would not relinquish. Juan Parra provided a pair of RBI knocks and Kevin O'Hara scored twice. Doc Desroches (2 runs) & Jonny Hayes also roped doubles as part of their multi-hit performances. Spartans shortstop Bryan Curran single-handedly kept the game close with a trio of insane defensive plays in the field. He also scored the team's lone run on an RBI single by 1B Chris Deane.

Mitch Philibert improved to 2-0 in the post-season with his second complete game win of the series as the Havoc defeated the Pirates 2 games to 1 and advance to the 28+ semifinals. Jordan Siu was hit with his 19th pitch of the season in the first inning, advanced to third on a Chris Dowd single, and stole home on a double-steal when Dowd took second. This gave the Havoc a 1-0 lead. The Pirates tied the game 1-1 in the 4th inning when John Burnheimer and Nick Packard singled and Jory Curran hit an infield slapper that couldn't be fielded cleanly. The Havoc made the score 2-1 on a 5th inning RBI sac fly by Dowd, scoring Romello Carbuccia who had previously singled. Up 2-1 in the 6th, the Havoc added some insurance when Paysa Garcia hit a 2-RBI rope down the 3rd base line, scoring Brett Rudy who ran for Omar Ortiz who had singled, and Alex Strempel who singled. The Havoc advance to play the Boston Cardinals in the semifinals

The Bucs send their apologies to the schedule maker - and live to see another day! Erasing two 2-run leads, the home team walked off with a 3-run 7th inning over the Havoc at Trum Field on Thursday Night. The Havoc struck first, plating two in the third inning before the Pirates struck back in the bottom half with 3 runs. But the Havoc immediately answered to retake a 2-run lead in the top half of the 4th, thanks in part to a 3-run double by the Havoc first baseman Chris Dowd. Nick Packard was the offensive star in the late innings, ripping two doubles and eventually scoring the tying run. With the Pirates emptying the bench in the 5th inning, Pirates legend Paul Aseltine was thrown into the mix with a couple of key late-inning at-bats. The Pirates' 17-year veteran answered the call going 0 for 0 - working a tough walk before being stranded in the 5th, but then hitting the game winning walk-off sacrifice fly in the 7th inning.
