WFBL 2025 - POSTSEASON
CUBS WIN FIRST EVER WFBL CHAMPIONSHIP!
The 2025 WFBL Championship matchup came down to the wire. In a Whitey Week battle between the top two teams from the Mack/West Division it was the visiting Vancouver Cubs taking a hard-fought 7-4 victory over the host Eugene Emeralds at Emerald City.
After Vancouver ran out to an early week lead the Ems fought back in front of their home fans, opening up a 9-3 advantage into Saturday. The Cubs then recaptured the lead with a strong Saturday performance, taking a 7-4 lead into the final day.
On Sunday afternoon, Eugene fought back into a 6-6 tie. Holding the tie-breaker advantage, it appeared as though the Ems might hold on. However, a late push gave Vancouver just enough to pull away once again.
This is the first WFBL Championship for the franchise. GM Josh McGlohn took over in the 2015 preseason, moving the club from Houston where they had been a 2010 expansion team. He then undertook a complete rebuild and roughted out seven straight losing campaigns until this year.
For the Emeralds and GM Dave Fackrell this was a third shot at the crown and their third near miss. The Ems dropped a 6-5 decision to Philly in the closest WFBL Finals ever back in 2008. The following year the lost to Boston by an 8-4 final score.
Carlos Rodon of Vancouver was named winner of the Chuck Klein Award as postseason Most Valuable Player. Rodon somewhat won it as representative of an incredible performance from the Cubs pitching group that also included Logan Gilbert, Tyler Glasnow, Noah Cameron, Cade Smith, Andres Munoz, and Carlos Estevez.
But the 32-year-old veteran southpaw was fantastic in his own right, leading the way with five Quality Starts over the club's four playoff matches. He was tied for the club lead with three Wins, tied for second with 26 strikeouts, and registered a 2.03 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Rodon becomes the eighth pitcher to win the Klein Award.
Congratulations to Josh McGlohn, manager Greg Maddux, and the entire Vancouver Cubs organization and fan base!
