The Anglers begin defense of their East Division title June 11 at Eldredge Park in Orleans, the first of six matchups with the rival Firebirds. The A's play at home the following night, June 12, against Wareham.
Chatham takes on East Division teams (Brewster, Harwich, Orleans, Yarmouth-Dennis) six times each and West Division foes (Bourne, Cotuit, Falmouth, Hyannis, Wareham) four times each, splitting home and away evenly.
Chatham's home opener at Veterans Field is June 12.
All games at Chatham's Veterans Field begin at 7 p.m. with the exception of June 15 when the Anglers face the defending CCBL champion Cotuit Kettleers in a double header beginning at 4 p.m. Chatham also has a road double header June 22 at Wareham's Spillane Field at 4 p.m. All 10 CCBL teams play a double header on both dates, the first scheduled twin bills in the CCBL since the 2011 season. Double header games will be seven innings each.
Eleven league-wide off days are built into the 2014 calendar, plus one Aug. 4 to separate the regular season and playoffs.
