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.

Japanese pitcher, Hawaiian speedster, big bat from VIU among eight added by NightOwls

The pitching staff, it is growing — and adding interesting storylines.

Japanese pitcher Moosa Nonomiya, who is at Skagit Valley College in Washington, will add more to the international flavor of the Nanaimo NightOwls for 2024 — already with players from Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Taiwan

.

Not all are far flung — lefty-hitting DH/1B Brayden McClary of the VIU Mariners and returning lefty arm Hayden Cuthbertson are islanders who know Serauxmen Stadium well.

Hata can fly — he started 40 games as a freshman and will top that this spring, piling up 28 stolen bases over two seasons. He’s not just speed, he hit a game-winning grand slam in extra innings earlier this month and has three home runs and 25 runs driven in, batting .320 with a low strikeout rate.

.

Cuthbertson has had a breakout year with a 3-1 record and four saves, striking out 27 in 17 innings and earning a Division1 spot with Miami-Ohio. McClary, also an Islander, will be the first married player on the NightOwls — he’s a key offensive force in the middle of the VIU lineup, hitting a ball out of Serauxmen this weekend against TRU.

.

Felix is a young star catcher with position versatility— and he’s big at 6-2/200 as he goes to Cal Poly this fall. Jakobson is a righthander who will have ample innings available for the summer, a oower arm with bullpen potential.

.

Ariaza is a great mix of power and strikes, and he’s the biggest NightOwl to date at 6-5/270. He didn’t walk a batter in 10 outings as a freshman and has 25 strikeouts in 18 innings, along with a save, this spring.

.

Hanning has had success at the junior college level and has proven to be a workhorse, including 61 innings already this season, tops on his staff.

.

Nonomiya has moved into a starting role in the NWAC conference and is now over 30 innings for a team that has NightOwls assistant Sean FitzGerald on the staff.
