Soggy C’s Victory
Vancouver’s liquid sunshine only managed to delay the game for 47-minute rain delay, but somehow the C’s managed to key on all the right factors to top Tri-City Dust Devils 7-4 at Scotiabank Field.
The Canadians offense was led by second-year player Balbino Fuenmayor (1B) who was-3 for 3 managing his third home run and four RBI’s to up his average to .444 (16-for-36).
Ian Parmley (LF) managed three walks scoring each times he reached base. C’s Pitcher Colton Taylor struck out six (6) over his 3 1/3 innings giving up two runs on a pair of hits.
Bobby Brosnahan pitched 2 2/3 innings for the C’s limiting the potent Tri-City offense to just two hits.
Allowing three walks helped the Dust Devils grab a pair of runs off of the former University of Michigan Wolverine in the bottom of the 6th inning.
Phillip Brua picked up the win going 1 1/3 innings of one hit baseball before Drew Permison came in for his second save of the season.
With the victory, Vancouver improves to 7-2 (.777) on the season and retains top spot in the Northwest League’s West Division.
It is also the Canadians third straight victory and secures their second straight series victory.
