back and forth: saturday, august 4

LAST NIGHT

  • Interesting night, with four one-run games
  • With its 6-1 victory over Cotuit and Brewster’s loss, Chatham clinched at least a tie for second place. The A’s have an eight-point lead, and Brewster has four games remaining (you get two points for a win) . . . Tim Federowicz continues to bust out in dramatic fashion. After a 3-for-3 day yesterday, he went 4-for-4 Friday to pace a six-run attack. Federowicz was hitting .186 at the all-star break and is now hitting .260 . . . Tom Milone allowed six hits and one run in six innings, picking up his league-leading sixth win
  • Hyannis stayed alive in the West playoff race with a victory over Falmouth, the team the Mets are chasing . . . Shane Peterson scored the winning run in the eighth on a passed ball . . . Dan Brewer hit his sxith home run for Hyannis . . . Andrew Doyle didn’t allow an earned run in 6.2 innings for Hyannis, while Kyle Gibson allowed one earned and struck out eight in six innings
  • A great — and long — pitchers’ duel in Wareham as the Gatemen beat Bourne 1-0 in 12 innings . . . Bourne starter D.J. Mitchell didn’t allow a run and equaled Brett Jacobson’s single-game strikeout mark with 15 in eight innings, while Wareham’s Andy Oliver struck out 11 in 6.2 shutout innings . . . The bullpens kept things scoreless until Jason Ogata scored Ben Booker on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 12th
  • Y-D’s six-game winning streak didn’t get to seven as Harwich posted a 3-2 victory . . . Dan Hudson worked six shutout innings for Harwich . . . Steve Strausbaugh and Cole Figueroa both went 2-for-3 for the Mariners . . . Y-D’s Grant Green went 4-for-5
  • Matt Couch struck out eight and allowed one run in six innings, but the Brewster bullpen surrendered two runs in the seventh as Orleans notched a 5-4 victory . . . Rob Catapano, who still hasn’t allowed a run this summer, went two innings in relief and got the victory

LAST NIGHT

  • A likely playoff preview tonight as Chatham visits Yarmouth-Dennis for a 4:30 p.m. game . . . Alex White goes against Trevor Holder in a solid pitching match-up
  • Bourne plays Wareham again, trying to snap a two-game losing streak
  • Matt Daly makes his first start since no-hitting Wareham July 25 as Hyannis hosts Cotuit
