Kelowna Falcons Release 2012 Schedule

November 2, 2011 - West Coast League (WCL)
Kelowna Falcons News Release


Kelowna: The Kelowna Falcons are pleased to announce their regular season schedule for the 2012 season.

The Falcons will once again play a 54 game schedule over the course of the regular season; 27 of which at home at Elks Stadium. The Falcons will play all eight teams in the West Coast League (WCL) both home and away and will play their Eastern Division rivals in four game series (Bellingham, Walla Walla and Wenatchee).

For the fourth consecutive season the Falcons will start on the road. This season they will visit Longview/Kelso Washington to face the Cowlitz Black Bears June 6 - 8 to open the year. In just their second season the Black Bears finished just one game shy of a playoff berth and boasted one of the best offenses in the league. They will have a new head coach in 2012.

The rest of the WCL begin their season on June 1, 2012 which gives the Falcons players and coaching staff a chance to get familiar with each other and play a couple of exhibition games. These games will be announced at a later date, as will the traditional FREE home opener game.

The Falcons will get their first look at the defending Eastern Division pennant winners; the Walla Walla Sweets on Tuesday June 19 at Elks Stadium in a four game series. The defending WCL champion Corvallis Knights make their visit to Kelowna on Friday July 6. The Wenatchee Applesox won't be in Kelowna until the final regular season home series, July 29 - August 1.

Falcons General Manager Mark Nonis says, "We like the schedule and are excited to see how our players adapt to the four game series. I've always liked starting on the road and the fact we start in Cowlitz gives our guys a taste of life on the road in the WCL. I know coach Cantwell and Gage will have our guys ready to go to improve on last season. Now that the schedule has been released we can begin to plan the rest of the summer."

"We feel this schedule is extremely attractive for our fans," said WCL President Ken Wilson. "We are emphasizing games within each division late in the season, which should add to the excitement of the races for play-off spots."

The WCL All-Star Game will be hosted by the Walla Walla Sweets on Tuesday July 24. Last season the East All-Stars beat the West 4-2 as Falcon Bo Folkinga scored the eventual winning run. The WCL post season begins August 11, 2012.
