Brewster Ends Their Season at Bourne With Another 4-4 Tie

By: Koki Riley

BREWSTER, M.A. – And just like that, it was over.
 
The 2019 Brewster Whitecaps season is officially completed following the Whitecaps 4-4 tie in Bourne on Thursday night.
 
It was a season that none of them left totally satisfied with, but it was a summer that none of them will ever forget.
 
“These guys made (the season) really enjoyable,” Whitecaps head coach Jamie Shevchik said. “I wouldn’t trade any one of these guys. If these guys were all eligible to come back next year I’d take every single one of them because it was that much fun for me.”
 
From Coach Shevchik on down to bat boys, this Whitecaps team became a family almost instantly. And despite constant roster changes, this Brewster team came closer together throughout the summer.
 
“I wish this summer could have kept on going,” Whitecaps bullpen coach Gene Bowles said. “We brought in a lot of different types of personalities from the first week of June until July 31st.
 
From T.J. Collett’s nature adventures to Chance Huff’s stand-off against the Wareham bullpen, this Brewster team kept things constantly light and fun throughout what was a long and erratic, especially weather wise, summer.
 
And as much as these players miss spending time at home with their families, they’ll also miss their time on the Cape with the new friends they’ve made this summer. The Whitecaps may have only played baseball together for about eight weeks, but the day in and day out grind of the Cape League season made those eight weeks feel like eight years.
 
“It’s been an unbelievable experience,” Whitecaps starting pitcher Mason Black said. “I hope I get to have this opportunity again next year.”
 
“It’s definitely a really tight group,” Whitecaps reliever Brian Craven said. “People were excited to go home but sad to leave each other.
 
“Hopping into a bullpen, even for a week, you get to know guys pretty quick and you spend a lot of time together messing around down there and cheering on for the team.”
 
With no more games on the schedule for 2019, it’s on to 2020.
