Riverhawks lose WCL north division championship to Bells

The Edmonton Riverhawks and Bellingham Bells leave Re/Max Field in Edmonton after the Bells won the West Coast League north division championship 5-2 on Aug. 12, 2025. (YouTube/Edmonton Riverhawks) The Edmonton Riverhawks were knocked out of the West Coast League (WCL) playoffs with a 5-2 loss to the Washington-based Bellingham Bells Tuesday evening. The teams fought to maintain a lead until the seventh inning, when the Bells created a two-point gap, 4-2. A short while later, play was stopped for about an hour and a half because of lightning and heavy rain. When the teams returned to the field, the Riverhawks failed to catch up, with the Bells scoring one more point. 'Thank you for an unbelievable season, Edmonton. We couldn't do it without you,' the Riverhawks said to fans on social media. This was the first time in team history the Riverhawks earned a spot in the North Division Championship. They beat the Victoria Harbourcats twice in the best-of-three first round of playoffs. The Bells will face the 2024 champions, the Portland Pickles, who beat the Corvallis Knights 6-5 Tuesday, for the league championship on Thursday. For a third consecutive season, the Riverhawks say they set a WCL single season attendance record this summer, hosting nearly 132,000 fans.
