White Center is gearing up for another summer of collegiate baseball as the DubSea Fish Sticks have officially released their 2026 schedule. Coming off the first Pacific International League (PIL) championship in franchise history, the team is set to return to Mel Olson Stadium, located inside King County’s Steve Cox Memorial Park. Known to local fans as "The Fryer," the stadium will host 27 home games between June 6 and August 1.
The season officially kicks off on Saturday, June 6, with an Opening Night matchup against the Washington A’s. This year’s schedule features a diverse lineup of opponents, including PIL rivals, non-league teams, and West Coast League (WCL) clubs. A significant milestone for the franchise will occur on Thursday, July 16, when the Fish Sticks host the Marrion Berries of Salem, Oregon, marking the first time a WCL team has visited Mel Olson Stadium.
Head Coach Elliott Cribby returns for his third season at the helm. Under Cribby's leadership, the Fish Sticks have posted the two best records in the team's history. Team President Justin Moser expressed excitement for the upcoming year, noting that the schedule is one of the most competitive in the Pacific Northwest and is designed to challenge the roster while remaining convenient for players heading back to school in early August.
To enhance the fan experience at the ballpark, which was originally built in 1979, the team is bringing back Crispy’s Food Truck for all home games. The food truck is intended to improve "fan flow" and reduce wait times at the stadium's single concession stand. Fans can also enjoy traditional favorites at the Fresh Catch Concession Stand or visit The Ice Chest beer garden.
