Notes
Addison Barger belted a homer to send the Herd on their way to victory. Spencer Horwitz had a two-hit night including an RBI double that turned out to be the winner. Rafael Lantigua doubled, singled and stole a base. Davis Schneider had a walk in four trips to the dish. Zach Thompson was the winner with six innings of one-run ball on three hits and three walks while whiffing three. Paul Fry, Yosver Zulueta and Zach Pop put up zeros to preserve the win.
Trevor Schwecke had three hits and Damiano Palmegiani had a pair with both of them getting a double. Alan Roden added a triple. Adam Kloffenstein gave up four runs (two earned) on six hits over five innings but struck out six without a walk to collect the win. T.J. Brock stranded both runners he inherited and got the final four outs for the save.
The C's were no-hit for 11-1/3 innings but pulled out a win when Devonte Brown singled placed runner Estiven Machado over to third with one out in the bottom of the 12th. Brown swiped second and he and Machado would score on a Michael Turconi base hit for Vancouver's ninth walk-off win of 2023. Ryan Boyer, Conor Larkin and Matt Svanson provided two shutout innings of relief with Larkin whiffing the first four me he saw. Sam Ryan got the win.

Chad Green tossed an inning with one hit allowed and one strikeout in relief of Yondrei Rojas who allowed a run over four frames but struck out four. Eliander Alcalde pitched 2-1/3 scoreless stanza and struck out three for the win. Roque Salinas had three hits for the D-Jays. Tucker Toman, Manuel Beltre and Peyton Williams also had a notch in the hit column with Williams adding a walk.
The FCL Jays were held to one hit, a solo homer by Victor Arias which was his fourth big fly of 2023. He also had a walk. Cesar Ayala had a no-decision after allowing a solo homer and fanning four over five frames. Winder Garcia put up two shutout innings of one-hit ball and struck out one.
It's not every day you see a number nine hitter sporting an OPS of 1.095 but that was Aneudi Escanio has after a three-hit day for the Dom-Jays. That has been compiled over 60 at-bats. David Guzman had three hits, Daniel Perez had two, including his fourth homer of the year and Enmanuel Bonilla was 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI. The winning pitcher was Eduar Gonzalez who threw three innings of one-run ball and struck out four.
