Cotuit 4, Falmouth 2
The tight race in the West got even tighter as the Kettleers defeated the Commodores to pull within a point of first place. TRailing by a pair of runs in the ninth inning, Falmouth loaded the bases before Drew Storen managed to get the final out without any damage. Cotuit will travel to Brewster while Falmouth plays Bourne.

YD 4, Harwich 2
The Red Sox pushed across a pair of runs in the top of the tenth inning to issue Harwich their sixth straight loss. The loss drops the Mariners to within only two points of Brewster and Chatham for the final playoff spot in the East.

Hyannis 3, Bourne 2
The Mets' Chris Dominguez singled and stole both second and third before Dale Cornstubble drove him in for the winning run with a single. Hyannis is now in a tie for second place in the West, just a point behind Falmouth for the division lead. Hyannis will play at YD while Bourne plays at Falmouth.

Chatham 9, Orleans 4
The A's scored six runs in the first three innings as they kept pace in the East with a 9-4 win over division leader Orleans. Chatham is now tied with Brewster in third place in the East, just one game behind the Mariners. Chatham will play Wareham while Orleans hosts Harwich.
