The Kelowna Falcons Baseball Club is the lone Canadian representative in the West 2014 Coast League. In 2000 the Kelowna Grizzlies were purchased by the Nonis Family who Overall 31-23 changed the name to Falcons. The Falcons first started play in the Pacific International League 27-22 Non-league 4-1 League (PIL) and competed in the league championship in 2004. The following year the Division 12-9 Falcons along with six other teams created the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League Home games 16-13 Away games 15-10 (which became the WCL in 2009). Day games 1-1 Night games 30-22 SERIES WITH THE FALCONS The AppleSox own the the overall series against the Falcons, 56-21, dating back to the Series 13-5 beginning of WCL play in 2005. The two teams have met in the playoffs six times and the Home Series 8-2 Away Series 5-3 AppleSox have swept all three playoff series. All three series continued in consecutive First game of series 10-9 seasons starting in 2008 and ending in 2010. The two clubs have met in extra innings five Rubber game of series 9-2 Last game of series 13-5 times. The AppleSox own the lead in extra frames, winning four of the games and losing Series sweeps 3-2 only one. The one loss came in the sixth meeting between the two teams in 2008. This season, the AppleSox have won each of the first two series, two games to one. Doubleheader 0-0 Extra innings 3-2 Shutouts 4-1 PLAYOFF PICTURE June games 16-9 The AppleSox will be on the edge of their seat tonight, as a Yakima win will secure the July games 12-13 WCL East Division. A Wenatchee loss will give the Pippins the same fate. Wenatchee August games 3-1 is the last team mathematically alive in the East Division. A Wild Card berth, which Sunday games 7-0 is seemingly more within reach for Wenatchee, would be assisted by another Bend Monday games 2-3 loss. The AppleSox are officially one game back in the wild card and need to make up Tuesday games 4-5 Wednesday games 5-4 two games to overtake Bend (who has the tiebreaker due to winning 2 of 3 in regular Thursday games 6-1 season). Bend finishes the season with struggling Klamath Falls, If Wenatchee wins out, Friday games 4-4 Saturday games 3-6 they need Bend to lose 2 of their final 5.
