Sport Sponsorship

BackOffice Associates is proud to sponsor the Harwich Mariners.

The Mariners have been a member of the Cape League since 1930, when the team first began play in Harwich. In the league's Modern Era, the team has qualified for the playoffs on ten different occasions. Their first appearance came in 1968, when Harwich dropped the championship series three games to one to the Falmouth Commodores in what would become the first of Falmouth's four consecutive titles between 1968 and 1971.

Harwich would make the playoffs three times in the 1970s, reaching the championship series in 1978 and 1979, losing both times in four games to the Hyannis Mets.

Finally, in 1983, Harwich broke through, winning their first Cape League championship in the Modern Era. The Mariners finished the regular season with only the third best record in the league, but eliminated the Hyannis Mets two games to one to earn a berth in the championship series. Harwich prevailed over the top-seeded Cotuit Kettleers in five games, taking the series three games to two to win the crown.

Harwich would win the Cape League championship in 1987 after finishing the season with the best record in the league. Harwich defeated the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox two games to one to win their second league title in five years.

The Mariners saw little success after winning the title in 1987, qualifying for the post-season only once in 1997 when they were swept by the Wareham Gatemen in the championship series. After an eleven-year play off drought, the Mariners stormed the Cape League in 2008, and swept the Cotuit Kettleers to become the defending Cape League Champions.
