Team Bio

The Bourne Braves joined the Cape Cod Baseball League in 1988 as an expansion team. The Braves play their home games in Bourne, MA at Doran Park. The Braves have won the CCBL championship just once, in 2009.

The Bourne Braves, like other summer college baseball teams, are dedicated and designed to provide minor league level competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball and routinely send players to the MLB amateur draft. The Braves operate in the model of an Independent Minor League team: recruiting athletes, playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment and experiencing road trips between games. Like all other summer collegiate players, the Bourne Braves are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility, and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.

• Like All Cape Cod Baseball League Games, the Bourne Braves games are free to the public. A donation can be offered at the gate.
