The Cape Girardeau Capahas, the Charleston Riverdogs and the Fairview Heights Redbirds played a tripleheader Sunday, May 20, 2018 at Capaha Field in Cape Girardeau. The Capahas paid tribute to Mary Bolen, the team matriarch — wife to Jess and mother to current manager Tom — who died in the offseason, by displaying a photo of her on the scoreboard during all three games. The Riverdogs wore gear which honored Pam Craft, sister of manager Greg Craft, who lost her battle with cancer last summer.
