Harwich Mariners
Harwich is another long-time member of the Cape League. While not as well known as Chatham or Orleans, the Mariners have captured four league championships (1983, 1987, 2008, and 2011). Harwich alumni include Kevin Millar (1992), Shaun Marcum (2002), and Tim Lincecum (2005).
Whitehouse Field
Harwich’s Whitehouse Field is a great place to catch an evening Cape Cod Baseball League game. The field is surrounded by woods, tucked behind Harwich High School. There is usually plenty of space in the bleachers on either side of the field, but space is also available to place lawn chairs just past the bleachers. When visiting Whitehouse Field, make sure to pack bug spray as the mosquitoes can be annoying.
