The weekend home and home series set to wrap up the season for the Wareham Gatemen and Bourne Braves turned into a washout both Saturday and Sunday.

The home opener for the Wareham Gatemen on June 15 was delayed by 90 minutes due to rain, and it appeared as if the rain cloud followed the team all summer.

With two games remaining, the Gatemen are 14-26-2 and were eliminated from playoff contention after an 11-2 loss to the Falmouth Commodores on Thursday, July 31. This marks the second consecutive season the Gatemen have missed the playoffs after winning the Cape Cod Baseball League Championship in 2012.

The game in Bourne originally scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 2 will be played on Monday, Aug. 4 at 6 p.m. in Bourne. Sunday's postponed game will be played Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. in Wareham.
