KAMLOOPS — The struggles continued for the Kamloops NorthPaws as they remain winless on the road this season after getting swept by the Bellingham Bells. The Paws now sit at 3-12 on the season, in the midst of a 10 game losing streak. Kamloops returns home to Dearborn Ford Field at Norbrock Stadium on Friday night for Bark at the Park night to face the Edmonton Riverhawks. Edmonton sits third in the North Division at 11-7.

Game 1 –

A tough first inning but the Kamloops NorthPaws behind the eight-ball on Tuesday night as they dropped the opener 8-2.

The Bells pushed across five in the opening frame, thanks to a pair of bases-loaded walks to Gabe Henderson and Conner Smith before Anthony Kodama cleared the bases with a triple.

Dominic Guistino would fail to escape the first inning on the mound for Kamloops getting the early hook from Jose Bautista after 0.2 innings, walking 5 and allowing 5ER. Chase Taylor would come in as the first man out of the bullpen and pitch effectively over 4.1 innings, allowing just a single run to score despite Bellingham collecting 8 hits.

Ethan Stout, 2.0 innings, 2ER and catcher Jerry Nix would close out the game for Kamloops.

The Paws two runs came in the eighth inning with Oliver Mabee driving an RBI single to right and then scoring later in the inning on a passed ball.

Josh Flaugher got the win for the Bells pitching 4.0 innings, 2H, 3K, 0ER.

Game 2 –

The middle game of the three game set was a heart-breaker for the Paws looking to snap a 8 game losing streak entering play, as they dropped a 3-2 decision.

Sawyer Jensen would spin a gem on the bump for Kamloops allowing just 2ER over 7.0 innings of 4H ball.

Kamloops would score the first run of the ballgame in the third on an Alec Gomez RBI single. The Bells would respond with two of their own in the bottom half, with Jason Shedlock getting an RBI on a fielder’s choice. The second run would come across on a double steal.

The Paws would level the score at 2-2 in the eighth as Jacob French scored on a passed ball. Again the Bells would retake the lead in the bottom half as Nate Kirkpatrick singled home Noah Albanese for the winning run.

Lucas Smith took the loss for Kamloops after pitching the eighth inning.

Game 3 –

The NorthPaws would again strike first in the third and final game down in Bellingham, but five unanswered from the Bells would complete the sweep with a 5-1 win.

The lone run for Kamloops came in the second inning when Jacob Schlesselman brought home Anthony Manuel with an RBI single.

Bellingham was able to take the lead for good in the third inning, scoring three on Paws starter Kolby Luckinchuk (5IP, 5H, 3ER, 5K).

Nate Kirkpatrick led the way offensively for the Bells going 2-4 2RBI. Will Franklin earned the win giving up 1ER over 4.0 innings.

Victoria HarbourCats – Victoria Fire Local 730 and HarbourCats, Golden Tide baseball teams team up for summer show of support

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VICTORIA, BC — Teamwork is needed in fighting fires, as it is on a baseball diamond.

It’s also needed in the community — and that’s why the Victoria Firefighters Association Local 730 of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and the West Coast League’s Victoria HarbourCats, along with the collegiate Victoria Golden Tide of the CCBC, are teaming up for a meaningful symbolic partnership that will run through the 2025 season.

“With the recent devastation we are seeing in Los Angeles, and the wildfires that have decimated areas on our side of the border — I think of Jasper this past summer, among others — it’s important for us all to show support for those who do the dangerous work of keeping us safe,” said Jim Swanson, Managing Partner of the HarbourCats. “We are open supporters of all first responders and military in our area, the people who take the risk to serve our communities.

“Victoria firefighters are true heroes in our community, and deserve our thanks, respect and recognition.”

The IAFF membership across North America includes more than 350,000 who put themselves in harm’s way to save lives and property — the very definition of teamwork.

This summer, HarbourCats players will wear Victoria Firefighter Union hats during batting practice and workouts, and will choose selected games to take them into action. The Golden Tide will do the same this spring with college home games in the CCBC.

The hats will be produced locally by HarbourCats merchandise and apparel partner Passion Sports, located in downtown Victoria on Government Street, working with General Manager Dylan Marsden and owner Greg Wallis.

“Our people truly appreciate the support we get from so many people in the community, and the HarbourCats have been strong partners for so many,” said Union president Jeremy Wilson. “We will be proud to see our logo on the field with both the HarbourCats and Golden Tide.”

The fires in LA have been a stark reminder to all how important it is to do all we can to be ready for anything — the devastation of such a populated area has stunned everyone.

The Golden Tide start their season in late March, while the HarbourCats open their 2025 home schedule on Friday, June 6, with the Port Angeles Lefties visiting Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP. Season Tickets, 10 and 32-Game Flex Passes and Single Game Tickets are now on sale for all 33 home games and three “Showcase” events through the HarbourCats new and one-and-only ticketing partner SHOWPASS at harbourcats.com/tickets.

Tickets can also be purchased in person at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street or by calling 778-265-0327.

ATTENTION 2024 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS:  If you have not already done so, please renew your seats for 2025 so that they can be locked into the new ticketing system.  Season Tickets will be sent to all members electronically this season on April 1, 2025, perhaps sooner.  Any seats not renewed by that time will be released and placed back into the system. Contact Christian at the office at 778-265-0327 to renew.
