The Vancouver Canadians evened the Northwest League Finals at one game apiece after beating the Boise Hawks in Game 2 at Nat Bailey Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Mitch Nay takes a lead from first base after his RBI single in the first inning scored Chaz Frank with the game's first run.




C's starter Kyle Anderson survived a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the fourth inning and surrendered just one run over five innings.

Kevin Encarnacion, no relation to Edwin, argues with the first base umpire after he was picked off by Anderson to end the fifth inning. Bill Buckner, Boise's hitting coach, tries to restrain Encarnacion, who was ejected.

Dawel Lugo punches a single to left field in the sixth inning.

Lugo's hit scored Andy Fermin with the go-ahead run.

Justin Atkinson started off the seventh inning with a infield single before stealing second base.

Chaz Frank kept the seventh inning alive with a two-out walk and flies around third base.

Andy Fermin tripled to right field to score Atkinson and Frank to give the C's a 4-1 lead.

Chuck Ghysels came on in relief with one out and one on in the eighth after the Hawks scored a run. Ghysels would load up the bases with a pair of walks but he got a pair of strikeouts to end the threat.

Southpaw Scott Silverstein gave up a leadoff single in the ninth but retired the side with a pair of strikeouts to save the victory for fellow lefty Matt Dermody (#46). Catcher Mike Reeves gets ready to greet Silverstein and celebrate a 4-2 win over Boise.

Game 3 of the Northwest League final goes tonight at The Nat. Tom Robson gets the start for Vancouver at 7:05 pm Pacific Time.

nice shots.  Love the Encarnacion pic... that really was a trigger happy ump.

Lugo looks younger than his 18 years.  Thanks for these great shots, #2JB.

Could those Boise uniforms be any less appealing? Egads.

Love the 'cosmic intervention' subhead. Let's hope it happens again!

Just in from the Nat. Robson was in complete control and the Canadians take it, 5-0.
Their third straight NWL championship.

Hats off to Clayton McCullough and his staff. A lot of young players, a lot of development and a lot of results.
Have to believe that's not lost on upper management.
