The Bellingham Bells are excited to announce they will be hosting the second game of the WCL North Divisional Playoff at Joe Martin Field on Saturday, August 11. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.

The WCL North Divisional Playoff is a best-of-three series beginning on Friday, August 10. The Bells will travel to the Second Half North Division Winner (yet to be determined) to start the series and then return home to host the second game of the series at Joe Martin Field on Saturday, August 11th. If necessary, the Bells will also play host to the deciding game of the series on Sunday, August 12th.

“We are thrilled to be back in the WCL Playoffs and hosting a game here at Joe Martin Field,” Bells’ general manager Stephanie Morrell said. “There is nothing quite like the post-season and we are excited to be able to share this with our fans.”

Tickets are now available for the August 11th playoff game and can be purchased by visiting www.bellinghambells.com. Ticket packages including a playoff t-shirt are also available for purchase.

A sell-out crowd is expected, so it is recommended fans purchase tickets in advance to ensure entry. If Game 3 is necessary, it will be played on August 12th and tickets will be available immediately after the conclusion of Game 2.
