The New York-Penn League’s 76-game short-season campaign commences this Friday, June 15, and the Connecticut Tigers have stocked their roster and coaching staff with a fresh set of faces. New skipper Gary Cathcart, along with hitting coach Bill Springman and pitching coach Carlos Bohorquez, had been working down in Lakeland this spring with all of the players who will take the field against Lowell on Friday night at Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium.
Cathcart and his cohorts were expecting to stay in Florida and instruct in the Gulf Coast League, when the organization made a late change.
