The Bourne Braves, A Dominant Force in the CCBL Since 2009-2025 and Beyond
Championship Dynasty
- Multiple Titles: The Braves secured their fifth overall title in modern CCBL history, with three of their championships coming in a dominant four-year stretch under field manager Scott Landers.
- Back-to-Back Supremacy: They proved their elite status by hoisting consecutive Arnold Mycock trophies in 2022 and 2023. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Unmatched Playoff Consistency
- Persistent Pennant Contention: Since the pandemic-canceled 2020 season, Bourne has become the undisputed king of August, earning an astonishing five consecutive Championship Series appearances through 2025.
- Record-Breaking Offense: In the 2025 CCBL Championship Series, the Braves put their offensive dominance on full display by sweeping the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, clinching the title with a staggering 19-2 victory in Game 2—the most runs scored in a single game in recent playoff history.

Breaking Curses and Setting Standards
- The President’s Trophy: In 2022, the Braves shattered the "curse of the President's Trophy"—an award given to the team with the best regular-season record—by following it up with a league championship, a feat no team had accomplished since the trophy's inception in 2012.
- Clutch Culture: The team's ability to peak at the right time is highlighted by their late-season surges. For instance, in 2025, they spent most of the summer further down the board before winning the West Division on the last two days of the regular season and putting together a flawless 6-1 playoff run.

Unearthing Elite Talent
- Top Prospect Pipeline: The franchise has acted as a direct pipeline to the major leagues, with over 100 players from the organization advancing to Major League Baseball. Their ability to draft and develop players is evidenced by a steady stream of postseason MVPs, such as Alabama's Bryce Eblin (2022) and St. John's Jon LeGrande (2025). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
