back and forth: friday, august 3

LAST NIGHT

In the only action of the night, the wait finally came to an end as Chatham won and got manager John Schiffner his 335th career Cape League victory, a new modern-era record. Chatham had been fogged out on Monday and Tuesday and hadn’t played since the Friday before the all-star break.
Tim Federowicz broke out of a slump in a big way with a 3-for-3 night that included a home run, a double and five RBI . . .
