NOTE: THE NORTHWEST LEAGUE 2020 SEASON HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
ORIGINAL STORY -
The following is the 2020 Regular Season Schedule for the Hillsboro Hops.
The Hops are members of the Northwest League, a Class A Short Season minor league. Hillsboro is the minor-league affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB). They are managed by second-year manager Javier Colina, who replaced Shawn Roof prior to the 2019 season.
To note, this schedule should be considered preliminary given the uncertainty surrounding the coronovirus (COVID-19), which has all but upended professional sports over the past several weeks. Any new information or alterations to the schedule will be announced and updated by SCtoC staff at that time.
Hillsboro plays in the South Division. Other teams in the division include the Boise Hawks, Eugene Emeralds, and Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. The Hops play 76 games (38 Home, 38 Away), with their home games played at Ron Tonkin Field in Hillsboro, OR.
The Hops look to defend their NWL title after having defeated the Tri-City Dust Devils 3-2 in their dramatic best-of five Championship Series. The Hops took the first game 3-2 at home, before being blasted by the Dust Devils 9-1 in game 2. The teams went to Tri-City (Kennewick) where the Hops won game 3, 2-1, but lost game 4 by a 6-0 score leading up to the final deciding game 5. It was the Hops' win in that one which enabled them to claim the championship. The Hops advanced to the championship round after downing Salem-Keizer 2-0 in their best-of-three South Division Series.
Hillsboro begins the 2020 season with a five-game stint in eastern Washington against the Spokane Indians; the only time they visit their intra-state rival over the course of the season. They follow that up with eight straight at home; three against the Emeralds and the other five against the Indians. They feature another eight-game homestand August 18-25 against the Hawks and Everett Auquasox.
They are on the road for an extended period just once, with road trips to Boise and Salem-Keizer comprising the final six games of the regular season. The season finale comes on September 6 against the Volcanoes.
SCtoC has listed the schedule below, followed by the home fields of the Hops' opponents. 7:05 p.m.Times are subject to change, and times currently TBD will be updated when that information is released. At the time of the preparation of this summary, the only team to yet to have released times for its home schedule was Salem-Keizer.
