The resilient Whitecaps won their second straight series after falling behind with a Game 1 loss. They beat defending champion Yarmouth-Dennis in the first round.

The series moves to Bourne’s Doran Park Saturday for Game 2. First pitch is at 6 p.m.
If necessary, a decisive Game 3 will be played Sunday at Brewster at 4 p.m.
Bourne is looking for their first title since 2009. The Whitecaps haven’t won the championship since 2000.
