Vancouver celebrates second consecutive WFBL Championship

Congratulations to GM Josh McGlohn and the Vancouver Cubs on capturing their second consecutive WFBL Championship! 

The Cubs pulled away in front of the home crowd at Cubs Park to down Brantford by a final of 9-3 after the two teams had entered the final day of Whitey Week even at 6-6.

Vancouver became just the second team ever, the first in two decades, to win back-to-back WFBL Championships.

Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, the WFBL regular season Mike Schmidt Award winner as the league's top offensive player, was named winner of the Chuck Klein Award as the playoffs MVP. 

Across the postseason victories over New York and Brantford, 'PCA' blasted five homers and stole five bags, scoring 12 runs and driving in 11.

The only other players to win both the Schmidt and Klein Awards in the same season were Aaron Judge with Detroit in 2024 and Miguel Cabrera with Joplin in 2012.

The Cubs earned the 10th overall pick in the 2027 WFBL Minors Draft with the victory. They will also be honored at our various league home site pages. Josh will receive the annual Champions Bobblehead once that has been received from CBS at the Commissioner's Offices and will have his 2027 League Fee waived.

Also, the Detroit Drillers edged past the Eugene Emeralds in the Finals of the Consolations Playoffs. That matchup also entered the final day even at 6-6. The Drillers earned the 20th overall pick in the 2027 WFBL Minors Draft. Congrats to GM Ryan Hreben and the franchise.
