Notes
Will Robertson putting the ball over the fence three times and added a double to cap off a five-RBI night. Orelvis Martinez went Viva Las Vegas twice with a single and a walk to reach base four times as well. Phil Clarke had two hits. CJ Van Eyk gave up four runs, all of them unearned, over five innings to get the win.
Jace Bohrofen went yard for the eighth time this year, drew a walk and stole a base and Cade Doughty had a pair of hits. Ryan Watson rung up nine batters over 6-2/3 innings of two-hit ball. Hunter Gregory got the final seven outs for the save, working around three hits.
Vancouver had just one hit in seven tries with runners in scoring position but that one was huge! It was a good win for the C's thanks to Nick Goodwin, whose second homer of the day with two outs in the ninth turned a one-run deficit into a two-run win. Goodwin had a three-hit night. Gabby Martinez doubled twice and Jackson Hornung is now hitting .324 by adding a double and a single. Arjun Nimmala added a base knock. Khal Stephen put his name in as an early candidate for Northwest League Pitcher of the Week honours by surrendering just two runs (one earned) in six innings, allowing just three hits and striking out 11. Yondrei Rojas, Julio Ortiz and Aaron Munson put up goose eggs with Ortiz getting the win and Munson collecting the save.
Tucker Toman and Kendry Chirinos capped off two-hit nights with the ninth-inning game-tying and go-ahead RBIs with two outs in the ninth. Bryce Arnold had a hit and a walk. Colby Holcombe needed 69 pitches to get through 2-2/3 innings, giving up two runs while allowing three hits and four walks and striking out two. Eliander Alcalde stranded two runners for Holcombe and pitched 1-1/3 scoreless innings. Johan Simon, Eminem Flores and Jack Eshelman put five goose eggs combined with Flores striking out five for the win. Eshelman got the save.
Nick Sandlin pitched a shutout stanza with a walk and a strikeout. Will Wagner had a walk in three plate appearances. The F-Jays had just four hits.
For the Do-Jays Blue, Cristopher Polanco had a double, single and walk while Daniel Dominguez had a triple and a free pass. Michael De La Cruz struck out five of the six batters he faced over two perfect frames for the win. For the Red squad, Luis Felipe had a three-hit night with a double. Nestor Urbina doubled and singled.
