With a 5-1 victory in Game 7 of the Yawkey League finals, the Brighton Black Sox capture the 2024
championship to successfully defending their title as league champions.

In what proved to be a tremendous back and forth series, the Braves would win an exciting Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the series. The Black Sox would take Games 6 and Games 7 behind strong pitching and timely hitting to capture the 2024 championship.

Congratulations to John Griffith and the entire Brighton Black Sox organization on successfully defending their 2023 title.
