The 2015 Kelowna Falcons are the best team in the club's history.

The West Coast League club won their 29th game of the season Saturday night in Bellingham, beating the Bells 8-1.

Kelowna scored a pair in the first inning off two walks, and back to back RBI singles from Justin Flores and Max Carter.

Carter would have a great night, going 3-5 in the ballgame.

Bellingham responded in the third off a leadoff double from Ethan Paul. A passed ball and a ground out from Lou Della Ferra brought the game within one.

The Falcons were stymied through the sixth inning by Bells starter Reagan Todd, being retired in order with a lone walk through 16 at bats.

Equally good, Brady Miller won his sixth game of the year with six innings on the mound, giving up four hits and striking out a season-high six batters.

Kelowna added six runs off the Bells bullpen, scoring one in the seventh off a Kyle Plantier RBI double, and a two-run shot from Hunter Villanueva in the eighth.

Three more runs were added in the ninth as an error extended the inning for Ben Gamba to knock in two with an RBI double. Meylan picked up the other RBI.

Alex Webb threw two scoreless innings, while Spencer Applebach worked a scoreless ninth.

The season series is on the line today at 3:05 p.m. versus the Bells. Michael Koval will be on the mound.
