BREWSTER, Mass. — Florida State’s fight song, the War Chant, rang across the field, but the location wasn’t Doak S. Campbell Stadium, home of the Seminoles football team. It was Stony Brook Field, home of the Brewster Whitecaps. In the box, however, was an FSU product.

Whitecaps left fielder and Seminoles rising redshirt junior Brody DeLamielleure had a 2-0 advantage over Bourne Braves right-handed side-armer Adam Buczkowski (Cincinnati) down by two runs with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh inning when the familiar cry rang out of the speakers situated above home plate.

Like a sleeper agent who heard an activation phrase, DeLamielleure jumped into action, driving the next pitch he saw to deep left center field, and over the wall on a bounce. The resulting game-tying ground-rule double scored second baseman Jay Abernathy (Oklahoma) and center fielder Michael Torres (Miami) — A catalyst in an inning where the Whitecaps entered down four and left with a five-run lead.

“I was talking to the (Braves) catcher (Brice Estep),” DeLamielleure said. “I was like, ‘This is funny, no way they’re playing this.’ And sure enough, I just got a heater I was looking for in a 2-0 count and hit a double, so I guess it went hand in hand.”

Brewster (9-5-1) rode the wave of momentum to its third comeback victory in as many days on Tuesday night, and second win against Bourne (6-6-3) in three tries this summer. The Braves attempted a comeback of their own, putting pressure on the Whitecaps with a two-run top of the eighth, but the umpiring crew called the game due to darkness heading into the bottom half of the frame, handing the Stony Brook faithful a 10-7 victory.

“The more games that we play like this, the more confidence that these guys are going to have that they’re never out of it,” Whitecaps manager Jamie Shevchik said. “Something I always say is, ‘Good teams find ways to win games. Bad teams find ways to lose games.’ When you have good team chemistry and good players, you just find ways to win.”

Brewster struggled out of the gate, recording only three hits across the first six innings of Tuesday’s action, but began finding its way against Bourne’s second reliever of the night, southpaw Connor Lehman (Alabama).

Whitecaps first baseman Dane Harvey (Ohio State) greeted Lehman with ambush tactics, lining the first pitch he saw into left field. It was all downhill for the Braves from there.

Catcher Owen Jenkins (Texas Tech) and Abernathy followed with singles of their own, and while Lehman bounced back with a popout, he walked Torres to bring in the first run of the frame. Third baseman Jamie Laskofski (North Carolina) then drove Lehman out of the game with a single, setting the stage for DeLamielleure against the newly entered Buczkowski.

“With sidearm guys like that, I try to go the other way,” DeLamielleure said. “Stay on it so you can pull it off. Then I saw in warm-ups he was missing all in with his fastball, so once I got it to 2-0 I adjusted and was like ‘I’m just going to pull something,’ and that’s what I did.”

As big as DeLamielleure’s double was, it merely tied the game at five runs apiece, meaning there was still work to be done when designated hitter Jacob Lee (Virginia Commonwealth) walked up to the plate after a hit-by-pitch reloaded the bases.

Lee, whose four home runs lead the Cape Cod Baseball League, was struggling heading into the at-bat. He was 0-3 with two strikeouts on the day, and had only recorded two hits in his last 20 at-bats dating back to June 24.

The slump didn’t follow him to the plate on this occasion, however.

The backstop did just enough to hit a blooper into shallow center field, coming through despite his recent hardships to score Laskofski and give his team the lead.

“I tried really hard to just do less there,” Lee said. “Be relaxed and not try to hit the 900-foot homer and a grand slam. It was just trying to be really relaxed in the box and see pitches deep and put something in play.”

A Harvey sacrifice fly, Jenkins double and Abernathy single did the rest of the work, giving Brewster a nine-run seventh inning the day after two separate four-run innings in the seventh and ninth led to a walk-off victory.

Unlike in the Whitecaps' previous game, however, they still needed to shut the door, which proved to be a more difficult task than hoped.

RHP Finbar O’Brien (Gonzaga) was sent out in the top of the eighth for his second inning of work despite not having his best day. O’Brien had already toiled in the seventh, walking two of the first three batters he faced and allowing those runners to come around and score. He allowed a third run to score later in the frame, giving Bourne its momentary 5-1 lead.

O’Brien’s issues against the first batters he faced reappeared in the eighth, as he allowed a single and a walk, which he again couldn’t keep from scoring. Luckily for Brewster, LHP Sebastian Santos-Olson (Miami) was able to slam the door on the Braves.

O’Brien’s four walks across 1.2 innings pitched contributed to his ERA increasing from 3.68 to 8.00 by the end of Tuesday, but he wasn’t the only Whitecaps arm to share the struggle. RHP Schuyler Sandford (Florida) also walked four and allowed two to score in the sixth inning, giving Bourne a 2-1 lead at the time.

“We’ve got to do a better job on the pitching staff, especially the guys coming out of the bullpen of just filling up the zone,” Shevchik said. “Let them put the ball in play. You've got defense behind you. I know the defense isn't always there at times, but we can't walk six guys in two innings and expect to come out of there clean.”

Even the lone bright spot of the pitching staff on Tuesday, righty starter Ethan Grim (Virginia Tech), had to work around his best stuff not showing up.

Grim’s usual 93 MPH fastball was replaced by one sitting in the range of 88 to 91, and it affected how Shevchik and pitching coach Brian Del Rosso used him, pulling him after four innings and 56 pitches of scoreless baseball.

“(Grim) didn’t feel 100%,” Shevchik said. “You’re not going to feel great every day, and it’s a good lesson for him too; you don’t need your best s— every day to go out there and compete, and that’s what he did.”

Grim’s personal battle was parallel to that of the offense, kicking into a higher gear when the going looked to be getting rough. It’s a mentality that the team has flashed throughout the season, from its comeback effort on Opening Night to its most recent three hard-fought victories.

It’s been a trend to such an extent that one could argue it’s simply become the team’s identity.

“It’s a dangerous group,” Lee said. “We can be down 5-1, 8-1 like we were last night. It doesn’t really matter. That’s what you want in the playoffs; you want a team that can win at any moment in the game.”
