Vancouver were the only winners on Sunday with Khal Stephen pitching six shutout innings. The other three teams lost. It's also mid season so time to look at first half performances.

Michael Stefanic hit two home runs as Buffalo out-clubbed Worcester. Dunedin hit three bombs and shutout Clearwater behind Kendry Rojas. The FCL Jays racked up eleven runs against the Yankees with Yorman Licourt homering. New Hampshire lost but Peyton Williams went deep. Vancouver were rained out.

The top four affiliates all lost with few stand out performances. The FCL Jays did win.

Sorry baby
We call it like we see it in Chicago

All right then - the White Sox are bad.

Vancouver won eleven games in a row down the stretch. They were 9-1 in their last ten games. They had the second best first half record in franchise history. But they missed out on the playoffs. Everett finished by winning six straight games, they were 8-2 in their last ten and they held the tie-break over Vancouver as both teams were tied.

Elsewhere Dunedin won while the big boys at the top of the system lost.

Vancouver was the only winner on Tuesday, and the C's needed to win as Everett remains on their tail for the first-half Northwest League pennant. New Hampshire was rained out.


Victor Arias belted his fourth home run of the season in Eugene on Tuesday.

Well the danger on the rocks is surely past

Buffalo had just one hit through nine innings and lost in extras. New Hampshire one hit Reading with Devereaux Harrison leading the way. Khal Stephen had a three hitter over five innings as Vancouver won again, their tenth in a row. Vancouver have a 1.5 game lead on Everett with three games left in the first half. Dunedin are having weather troubles. They were scheduled to play a doubleheader today, they almost played five innings.

Friday saw another Vancouver win and the win keeps Vancouver in first spot. However Vancouver finish the first half next week with three games against Eugene, the team just behind them in the playoff race. No other affiliate is in line for a playoff spot. Dunedin scored three runs in the bottom of the eleventh for a win. Edward Duran had the winning hit, his third hit of the game.

Buffalo and the FCL Jays both scored three runs in their last at-bat for two walk off wins. Dunedin won both ends of a doubleheader. Vancouver ran up the score on Spokane as they push for a first half title. New Hampshire were the only duds on the night.

Vancouver are currently in first place with a 1.5 game lead as of early Friday night. They have won eight straight games. The first half ends next Thursday, five games remain.

The road trip concludes.

Trey Yesavage made his first AA start. He had a rough first inning before settling down. Similarly Gage Stanifer made his first start for Vancouver and like Yesavage he had a tough first inning. Vancouver had the only win on Thursday.
