It’s been eight years since the Birds last won the CCBL East Division. That all changed this summer. While it was no easy feat, that alone was not enough for Orleans to advance past the first round of playoffs.

“We just have to keep at it,” Landon Hairston said. “We are a good ballclub, and we know it. We know what we are capable of doing, and hopefully we will get the outcome that we want.”

While Orleans was unable to extend its winning streak to eight games against Brewster, with help from the Anglers defeating Harwich, the Birds were able to take the East Division.

The Birds are no stranger to a walk-off win. In fact, they have notched two walk-offs in one week, with their last one coming in Saturday's 7-6 victory against the Harbor Hawks.
