Victoria, BC – The losing streak stops at one.

Dallas Macias had a three-hit night, had two walks, two RBI and two runs scored to help lead the Victoria HarbourCats to a 7-4 win over the Edmonton Riverhawks in West Coast League action Tuesday night at Wilsons Group Stadium in Victoria.

FULL BOX SCORE

The win improves the HarbourCats record to 12-4 overall (9-1 at home) and keeps them in the hunt for the first-half North Division title, with Bellingham (10-3), who lost 6-4 to Kelowna, and Wenatchee (11-4), who were rained out in Kamloops.

The HarbourCats jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first thanks to RBI-singles from Tyler Davis and Macias, but saw that lead disappear in the third, when the ‘Hawks finally got to ‘Cats starter Jack Seward for three runs.

A solo home run by Nick Dumesnil in the bottom of the fourth brought the HarbourCats even and then runs in each of the bottom of the fifth sixth, seventh and eighth innings, put the game out of reach for the Riverhawks.

Along with Macias, Hudson Shupe also had a three-hit night, raising his average to a scorching .563 since joining the team last weekend, while Demesnil, Davis and Brandon Green each finished the night with a pair of hits.

On the mound, Logan MacNeil gets the win in relief of Seward, throwing 2.1 innings of scoreless relief. Brett Harvey and Ryan Magdic also saw activity, each with a pair of innings to close out the game.

For Edmonton, Daniel Calabrese had a three-hit night with a double, RBI and a run scored, while Noah Boughton and Tommy Takayoshi contributed two hits each to the losing cause.  Starter Halen Knoll takes the loss, giving up four runs on nine hits over five innings of work.

The HarbourCats and Riverhawks are right back at it on Wednesday night at 6:35 pm on National Indigenous People’s Day.  Fans are encouraged to wear orange shirts in honor of the residential school survivors and to come out and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada.  The series then concludes on Thursday night with another 6:35 pm start.

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

Published

February 3, 2025

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.
