back and forth: wednesday, august 1

LAST NIGHT

• More fog in Chatham kept John Schiffner’s chase on hold.
• Y-D won its sixth consecutive with a 3-0 decision over Brewster. In his second start for Y-D, Jerry Sullivan tossed seven shutout innings. Brewster’s playoff chances take a hit with the loss, though the Whitecapes aren’t out of it.
• Orleans and Harwich ended in a tie when the fog rolled in at Eldredge Field. Brett Jacobson turned in a dominant performance for the Mariners, striking out 15 and walking just one in six innings. If you’re doing the math, he recorded all but three outs by strikeout. I’ll try to look this up later, but I don’t remember that many strikeouts in a game this season.
• Falmouth beat Cotuit for the second night in a row and moved six points ahead of third-place Hyannis, which lost to Bourne. Falmouth’s David Adams went 3-for-5 and and had two steals to back Christian Friedrich, who allowed just one earned run in five innings. In Bourne’s victory, four relievers combined for seven shutout innings.

TONIGHT

• No games scheduled as the all-stars travel to Fenway Park to be recognized at a Red Sox game. Should be an awesome night for those guys.
