“These four non-league contests at the end of a super long stretch of where I think it was 15 out of 16 days of league games, wrapping up the first-half North title, securing the playoffs — I was really proud of these guys having to slog through these non-leaguers,” Geaslen said. “No game is meaningless, but I’m glad we came through them healthy.” At the end of June, the Bells clinched the West Coast League North Division’s first-half championship, guaranteeing them a playoff spot thanks to their first-place division standing halfway through the regular season, per WCL playoff formatting.
