In 1977, the team name was expanded to take in the town of Dennis. With the name change, the Red Sox continued to call D-Y High School home, although plans originally called for the team to play a limited number of home dates in Dennis at Ezra Baker School field. In a repeat of 1973, the now Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox defeated Chatham in the playoff semi-finals but fell to Cotuit in the championship series. Y-D was led by future New York Yankees slugger Steve Balboni. Balboni hit 13 home runs for Y-D in 1977, and clobbered another two over Fenway Park's Green Monster in the annual CCBL All-Star Game. He was named league MVP and Outstanding Pro Prospect, and was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame in 2006.
