WCL All-Star, Canadian Slugger Among Four Added by NightOwls

Published

Chavez, now a junior at St. Mary’s in Texas, pitched in the junior college World Series in 2019 for New Mexico Junior College prior to arriving in Port Angeles. The product of El Paso was 2-1 in 17 games with 20 hits allowed in 23 innings for the Lefties, earning a spot on the North Division team for the 2019 all-star game in Bend. At 6-4/190, with a fastball above 90, scouts are watching him closely.

Marchese is a 6-2/230 sophomore at Niagara University, a lefty thrower/hitter with power who hit two home runs in his college freshman season, then hit .243 with four home runs and 27 RBIs in 43 games for Cowlitz in the summer of 2019. Marchese, who played for Whalley at the BCPBL high school level, can play both first base and outfield.

Brock Kleszcz, a 6-2/200 outfielder and right-handed hitter, is from Valencia, CA, and is at UC-San Diego, the younger brother of Yankees draft pick Cole Kleszcz. Brock is expected to contribute as a true freshman and bring centrefield speed with a mid-order bat, and was highly recruited by a number of D-1 schools.

Alvarez is a 6-0/185 righty from Rancho Cucamunga, CA, and a sophomore at UCSD, and has been part of championship teams. He brings an upper-80s fastball and mix of off-speed that Coach Spears will value with the pitching staff.

Reminder, this weekend — Friday, Oct. 2, through Sunday, Oct. 4 — South Nanaimo Panago will donate $2 from every pizza sold to the Nanimo Minor Baseball Association. The NightOwls Ney-te the NightOwl will be on location from 4:30pm to 5:30pm on Friday at the South Nanaimo Panago location to assist. Fans wishing to support this great partner promotion can call 250-310-0001 to order.

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.
