Hawks Kick Off Road Trip With 8-6 Win Against Bellingham

 were able to have a late inning surge and score a trio of runs against the 

in the 8th. The win secures the final of three series between these two teams, and evens the season record to 4-4 with the Bells taking the prior two sets played in Edmonton. The Hawks now sit at 18-13 on the season and 4-1 in the second half.

The Hawks tied the game up after leading off the 3rd with a first pitch single by 

. As the lineup flipped over Veatch would steal second before a single by 

 would combine with a Bellingham E5 and let Drew come home to score for an early 1-1 score. That score wouldn’t stay tied for long as on the first pitch of the 4th 

would smash a solo home run, his fourth of the season.

Coming alive again in the 8th after being held quiet for three innings, the Hawks got a leadoff walk from 

, then back-to-back singles from Stagg and 

 gave the Riverhawks a free run, and Stagg would score while a double play happened to tie the game up. A double to the wall from 

would be enough to give Edmonton the lead as Lenihan ran home on the RBI two-bagger.

 was unfortunately burned by a wild pitch in the 1st inning, that would allow the leading runner from a pair of singles to score from third. The good news is that a savvy toss from foul territory by Lenihan would double off the runner and it would be the only solid scoring chance Bellingham saw until the 3rd. A pair of walks and a wild pitch would put Ridsdale in a one-out jam with a pair in scoring position. Another double play, this time a 6-3 would prevent the Bells from adding on. More troubles in the 4th followed as a walk would get moved around to third on ground outs, then a wild pitch would let the runner score and tie the game without Bellingham yet having a pitch in the inning. Ridsdale would pitch just those 4.0 innings, allowing 2 earned runs and 3 hits, along with 5 walks and no Ks.

 who was the pitcher for the 6th. He avoided giving up a homer, but the ball wouldbounce off the wall and end up as a triple to lead off the frame. The bases would get loaded from a walk and a HBP before a sac fly gave the Bells another run in Naramore’s only inning of work. 

 would toss the 7th and be the first Edmonton pitcher to not allow a run in the game, as well as the first one to toss a strikeout. Working with a newfound lead, 

 would be assigned the 8th and have a efficient inning, retiring the Bells in order. It was #14 Tate Dearing’s 9th, and he took just seven pitches to secure the win and his sixth save of the season!

Hawks pick up a 5-4 win thanks to an 8th inning rally

Hawks Bounce Back to Secure Road Series Against Bellingham

 tonight, as they ran the score up against the 

 to end up with a 10-1 victory. It was a combined contribution from the entire lineup and backed up by a quality start from Reece Hemmerling on the mound and 4231 fans in the stands. Some big performances from the Hawks included Robert Phelps’ 3-hit, 5 stolen base record, and Trent Lenihan’s 2-hit 2-RBI game. It wasn’t just the heart of the order contributing, debuting Riverhawk Tyree Reed earned two hits and an RBI in his first game with the squad.

The Riverhawks were ready from the get-go, as 

 knocked a first pitch single to left field. After

 belted a warning track double to score Phelps and give the Hawks an early lead. The rally continued into the 2nd inning, as a leadoff double from 

 knocked a 6-3 groundout, but it was enough of a distraction to score Middlemiss and make it a 2-0 game.


More action in the 3rd, as Stag hit a one out single and Lenihan walked. That set the scene for debuting Riverhawk 

 to drill a hard hit double and score his university teammate Stagg. A sac fly from 

 brought home Lenihan and made it a 4–0 game after three.

Back to it after a quiet 4th, a rally erupted in the 5th from Stagg’s leadoff walk. Reed followed with a single, and both stole a base before Stagg was able to run home on a wild pitch. Another sac fly from Yzermans gave the Hawks their second two-run inning of the game.


With one out in the 6th, Phelps knocked his third hit of the game, then proceeded to steal both second and third to make it five nabbed bags in the game! Stagg smacked a laser shot to left to score Phelps. Lenihan followed with another hit to left bringing home 

 who had walked after Phelps. A two-out E4 from Nanaimo with the bags loaded sent the score into double digits, as Stagg and Lenihan ran home on the misplay. Looking to join the hit parade in the 7th was Sato, who hit an automatic double that bounced over the field in left of his second pitch of the frame. But no other Riverhawks would be able to back him up as the 7th became only their second scoreless inning of the game

Unhappy with just 10 runs, a couple of bench bats helped the Hawks even more, as singles from 

 and Yzermans were both brought home by a 

kept the NightOwls at bay through 6.0 innings of work. Aside from a few singles, Hemmerling was able to deftly dispatch Nanaimo, retiring 6 batters in a row between the 2nd and 3rd. The first real trouble Reece faced was briefly in the 4th, as a leadoff triple was scored on the next pitch by a sacrifice fly. Notching his fourth swinging strikeout of the game, Hemmerling sopped any more momentum from Nanaimo. Pitching into the 6th, Hemmerling got a break as what looked like a dribbler that could have sent a runner to third was instead ruled an out due to runner’s interference. Working through 6.0 innings, Hemmerling tossed 6 swinging strikeouts, was tagged with 1 earned run, and 5 hits. Reece didn’t allow a single walk across his entire appearance.

, who’s only misgiving in the inning was a two out double that bounced on the left line to stay fair. A grounder to first ended the frame and kept the score clean. The Hawks’ second Reece of the game 

 took over for the 8th, allowing two two-out walks, but finishing the inning with a swinging K. Finishing off the game with a debut from 

who gave up just a walk in an otherwise easy inning.


The win puts the Riverhawks at a 16-13 on the season and 2-1 in the second half. Nanaimo falls to 13-17 and 1-2 in the second half. The Riverhawks now head on the road to face the Bellingham Bells and Port Angeles Lefties. The All-Star break follows the road trip, so the Hawks won’t be back to
