First Game – Y’All Porch

Canadians CF Earl Burl III went 2-for-4 with a highlight reel defensive play to boot while RF Sean Hurley hit the first-ever home run onto the Hey Y’All Porch as Vancouver opened up an eight-game home stand with a 5-3 victory over the Hillsboro Hops on Friday night.

All eyes were on Toronto Blue Jays 1^st Round Draft Pick RHP Jon Harris who would go 2 2/3 innings of work in his professional debut allowing just one Hillsboro hit while striking out four.

RHP Jon Wandling would pick up the win after going 3 1/3 innings allowing one earned run on three hits to improve to 1-1.

Offensively the Canadians got contributions from CF Earl Burl III who went 2-for-4 with a double and a triple, scoring a pair of runs to help grab an early lead.

RF Sean Hurley provided the insurance needed in the bottom of the 8^th inning when he slammed his 2^nd home run of the season into the new “Hey Y’All! Porch to make it a 5-3 final.

With the win, Vancouver improves to 4-5 (.444) on the season, and move to within three games of North Division leading Everett who fell 11-10 at home to Boise on Friday night.
