Undefeated at home, the Nanaimo NightOwls will be glad to land back to The Nest known as Serauxmen Stadium after three tough losses in Kelowna.
he NightOwls (3-3) dropped three straight games to the Falcons, the latter an 8-3 setback in what was a close game until a three-run home run in the seventh inning. Nanaimo starter Nathan Buchan went five strong innings and had his team within shouting distance that entire time, but the NightOwls failed to take advantage of having runners on base nearly every inning.
.
The NightOwls scattered seven hits Thursday, with no one in the lineup mustering more than one hit.
The NightOwls, who swept the Walla Walla Sweets at home in a three-game series on opening weekend, lost 9-3 on Tuesday in the opener in Kelowna, in a game that was closer than the score indicated, tied going to the bottom of the seventh inning, then dropped a 10-8 decision in a back-and-forth affair on Wednesday.
.
The NightOwls return to face Bellingham on Friday night, Saturday night (both 6:35pm starts) and Sunday afternoon (1pm). After that three-game set, the NightOwls have Monday off then welcome the Yakima Valley Pippins to Serauxmen for a Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday home series.
Home games are best watched live at the park, but if you can’t make it the place to find NightOwls games online streaming is at NightOwls.TV
