COTUIT, Mass. - Wake Forest sophomore pitcher Michael Dimock and the Bourne Braves captured the 2009 Cape Cod Baseball League championship on Wednesday, defeating Cotuit 5-1 to sweep both games in the best-of-three series.

The Braves captured the opening game of the series 15-5 in six innings. The game was called early due to fog. Dimock tossed the final 1 2/3 innings for Bourne, allowing four runs, three of them earned, on five hits, while striking out three.
