The Bells woke up today hoping to ride their wave of momentum from last night's 5-3 victory over the vising Kelowna Falcons, but the Washington weather had other plans. It was raining all morning and both teams agreed to cancel the game. The rain was pretty bad on its own, but the field was absolutely drenched the whole way around.
Bells GM Justin Stottlemyre told me that the teams will make up today's game when Bellingham travels to Kelowna from June 21-23.
Owner Bobby Brett was in town today, so instead of just saying "go home," he was gracious enough to take the whole team and front office out to lunch at Boundary Bay Brewery in downtown Bellingham! We had a great time, and it was nice getting to personally meet more of the players.
Tomorrow's game is still a-go as far as I know. The Bells open up their series against the league's marquee franchise, the Corvallis Knights. The Knights made the WCL championship last season but were upended by the defending champion Wenatchee Applesox.
Corvallis is regularly ranked in PG Crosschecker's list of top 10 summer collegiate teams, and I'm sure that we'll see them there by season's end...they're fantastic every year: in the last three seasons they've won the championship once and finished as the runner-up twice.
I'll be calling the game live on www.bellinghambells.com, tune in for first pitch at 6:30!
