Facebook VIDEO, winning run. Watch Bernie after he hits it. Honestly, I could not see exactly where the ball landed. The centre-fielder was twisted a bit in knows, as he had to go back to the ball... but I think when he grabbed it off the ground it was right beside him.

Another interesting play was the Corvallis home run. Our left fielder really should have caught that ball as it barely cleared the fence, but he misread it and charged in before realizing how well struck that ball was and had to scramble back.

So, Bernie has his own cheering section, a whole crew of folks waving the Taiwan flag. It's quite the thing to see.

It has been thought and said by many that Victoria city council could not run a popcorn stand.
At Wednesday night’s HarbourCats baseball game, the only concession that sells hotdogs is operated by the city. Can you believe, they ran out of hotdogs about halfway into the game?
And they think they can build a bridge or manage a grandiose plan that they are proposing for the Inner Harbour shoreline?
Only in Victoria.

I think the changes is due to wage cost constraints. A unionized City employee who has their hot dog handling certification makes $30 an hour while it only costs $25 an hour for someone who can hand out drinks and bags of candy.

Why in the world is the City of Victoria operating a hot dog stand?
How can it be news to you that Royal Athletic Park has concession stands?

They ran out of Mars Bars on Friday, never restocked for Sat/Sun. Lame. At $2.50 a bar retail (buy for 55-75 cents wholesale) you'd think they could go get some.

Yeah, that's too bad.

Why wouldn't you your own Mars Bars with you, or maybe you don't want to be associated with THAT planet.

Maybe they have a policy prohibiting outside food?

I like Mars as much as the next planet (Jupiter).

That's what started all the fuss about removing the statues. Get rid of the planet and the decendants will follow.

From a press release:
A balanced schedule with strong weekend and daytime dates is being announced today by the Victoria HarbourCats, as the franchise enters its sixth season (#seasonVI) in the West Coast League – a schedule that sees the team playing at home each weekend in June, five straight Sunday afternoons at home, and holiday weekends, among other features.
The release of the schedule allows the team's front-office staff to start setting up the popular 50-50 fundraising opportunities and solidify important promotional nights at Royal Athletic Park. It also allows Head Coach Brian McRae and his newly-named coaching staff of Troy Birtwistle, Todd Haney, Ian Sanderson and Jason Leone to begin planning workout dates and travel logistics.
The HarbourCats will again play out of the North Division, joining the Bellingham Bells, Kelowna Falcons, Port Angeles Lefties, Wenatchee AppleSox and Yakima Valley Pippins. The HarbourCats and Falcons are the lone Canadian teams in the WCL.
The South Division is comprised of the Bend Elks, Corvallis Knights, Cowlitz Black Bears, Walla Walla Sweets and the newest league addition, the Portland Pickles, who replace the Gresham Greywolves.
The HarbourCats will open the WCL regular season at home with a June 1-2-3 (Fri-Sat-Sun) series against Wenatchee, then take a day off and face the Yakima Valley Pippins at home June 5-6-7 (Tues-Wed-Thurs). The Thursday game, June 7, will be the annual SCHOOL SPIRIT GAME, dedicated to students, and will start at 11:35am.
The Coquitlam Angels, Team BC for the 2018 Baseball Canada Men's Championship at RAP this coming August, will be at RAP for games on June 9-10 (Sat-Sun).
The first road series for the HarbourCats won't require a border crossing -- a trip to Kelowna, June 12-13-14 (Tues-Wed-Thurs). That's followed by a home series against the JDF Straight-rival Port Angeles Lefties, June 15-16-17 (Fri-Sat-Sun), the final day being the annual Coca-Cola Father's Day home game.
At this time, 29 home games and 27 road games are confirmed, with an additional five home games nearing completion (May 30, July 5-6, and July 28-29). Without adding playoffs, that will give local baseball fans at least 34 home games, and 61 games overall in a 69-day span.
The HarbourCats continue to work closely with the North Park Neighbourhood Association and four FIREWORKS DATES have been put in place:
*-Saturday, June 2
*-Saturday, June 30 (Pre-Canada Day)
*-Friday, July 20
*-Monday, August 6 (B.C. Day long weekend)
"This is a schedule we think our fans will really like, in how spread out the home games are and how we'll be able to make so many special events come to life," said Jim Swanson, the Managing Partner of the HarbourCats. "Fundraising groups, corporate partners and season ticket holders are always eager to get the schedule so they can set aside the dates."
Season tickets continue to be sold, and individual game tickets will go on sale by the end of the week, both at the team office (1814 Vancouver St) and on-line.
Other highlights include -- The new Portland Pickles will be in Victoria for the final home series, August 6-8, which will include Shirt Off Our Backs Night and Fan Appreciation Night... the Kelowna Falcons are in Victoria for the Canada Day weekend... the 2017 WCL final rematch in Victoria with the Corvallis Knights is slated for July 18-20 at RAP, right after the all-star break July 16-17... The WCL all-star game will be played July 17 in Port Angeles, with two days of festivities around that... The only team the HarbourCats do not visit this year -- the Portland Pickles. All WCL teams except the Cowlitz Black Bears will be in Victoria… The HarbourCats will wear the historic Victoria Mussels jerseys for two home games, dates to be determined.
The playoff structure remains the same, with two halves -- winners of each half in each division advance to the WCL post-season
The team's pocket schedule will be out shortly, and major promotional dates and activities will be announced in the new year. The schedule appears at http://harbourcats.com/calendar/, with an I-Calendar option to add it to your smart phone or tablet.
Most home games will continue to be 6:35pm starts, with Sundays and some special games being 1pm first pitch. The annual SCHOOL SPIRIT GAME will be an 11:35amstart time on Thursday, June 7.
The WCL All-Star Game is set for July 16-17 at Port Angeles.
