Victoria , BC – Dallas Macias had a three-hit game and scored twice to help lead the Victoria HarbourCats to a 6-1 win over the Wenatchee AppleSox in West Coast League action Sunday afternoon at Wilson’s Group Stadium in Victoria.

The win gives the HarbourCats the sweep over the AppleSox but more importantly vaults the HarbourCats over the AppleSox into first place in the second half standings (9-3), first place overall in the North Division (28-11) and first place overall in the entire West Coast League. It also improves the HarbourCats home record to 20-1 , the only loss coming to Yakima on Sunday June 18th.

The HarbouCats scored three runs in the first two innings Sunday and then never looked back, as starting pitcher Flynn Ridley and relievers Brett Harvey, Cody Howard and Russell Derbyshire held the AppleSox to just six hits on the day.

Offensively, in addition to Macias’s strong day, Hudson Shupe upped his league leading batting average to .420 with a 2 for 4 day at the plate, while Tyler Davis added a pair of hits and an RBI to the winning effort.

The HarbourCats now head to Nanaimo for the first installment of the 2023 Battle for Vancouver Island, as they begin a three-game set with the NightOwls on Tuesday evening at Serauxmen Stadium. They will then head home for a three game set beginning Friday against the Coquitlam Angels.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 21, 2024

VICTORIA, B.C. — Different sports, but the same community ideals.

The Victoria HarbourCats and Nanaimo NightOwls, of baseball’s West Coast League, and the Vancouver Island Soccer League (VISL), have entered into a strategic partnership intended to assist the entities in growing grassroots sports and improving facilities on Vancouver Island.

The VISL provides programming and championships on the Island and leads leagues which give the best soccer players an avenue to play the sport for life. Championships such as the Jackson Cup, with many finals played at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, serve as the crown jewel of the VISL.

More than 6,000 participants are involved with the VISL — sports fans, who will keep track of the Island’s top baseball programs, the HarbourCats and NightOwls, who combined to draw more than 100,000 spectators in 2024.

The baseball teams and VISL will jointly promote each others’ schedules, and provide opportunities for youth participation.

“The atmosphere at HarbourCats and NightOwls games showcase the top fan engagement on the Island, a true gathering point in our communities,” said VISL Executive Director Vince Greco.

“Baseball fans are soccer fans, and soccer fans are baseball fans — it’s about supporting quality programs on the island and furthering awareness. Adding youth opportunities between the two will be the cherry on top.”

Watch for VISL events to recognize the work of the HarbourCats and NightOwls, and feature baseball games to celebrate the success of the VISL.

For more information on the VISL and their programs and offerings, please visit their website HERE.
