Buffalo and New Hampshire have had a rough go of it recently. Buffalo were 1-8 in their last nine games entering Sunday while New Hampshire were 1-7 in their last eight. So when Buffalo were down 7-1 in the seventh inning of their game and New Hampshire were down 6-1 in the ninth, it looked like the losing would continue. But Buffalo had a seven run seventh inning and NH a six run ninth and both won.

Vancouver and Dunedin finished their regular seasons with losses. Vancouver's season will continue on Tuesday with a playoff game but Dunedin are finished. Vancouver will play a best of five series against Eugene. Will any Dunedin players get to play for Vancouver or will the C's stick with their roster?

Dunedin were the only winners on Saturday thanks to three home runs and good pitching by Denis Samudio. Elsewhere Ryan Sprock had a three hit game for Vancouver, Nick Goodwin had a good game for Buffalo and Aaron Parker homered again for New Hampshire.

Nolan Perry was outstanding for New Hampshire. Unfortunately the NH hitters could only muster four hits. That was double their opponent but NH still lost. Buffalo had only three hits in their regular game and lost. They also lost their game that was resumed in the tenth inning. It was left to Vancouver and Dunedin to supply the wins.

The Jays hosted the Royals ten days ago and lost two of three. They need to win at least two of three in KC to keep their playoff position. After KC they head out west to Sacramento before returning to face the Orioles.

New Hampshire turned 21 hits into 17 runs for a big, big win. And thats it for the good news. Vancouver pitchers gave up 17 hits as they suffered a post playoff clinching bad game. Dunedin had five hits across two games and lost both. Buffalo's game was suspended due to rain while the game was tied.

Vancouver won to seal their place in the Northwest League playoffs. They won in style scoring 12 runs. Johnny King had a good start but New Hampshire were shutout 1-0. Dunedin were also shutout while Buffalo and Dunedin's second game were rained out.

Cleveland hold the third wildcard spot and the Jays are 1.5 games back. Noe these teams go head to head for a three game series. The Jays have 24 games to go including six games against the Orioles and three versus Texas, two teams around them in the wild card standings.

Jake Casey singled in the go ahead, and eventual winning, run for Vancouver. Dunedin won both ends of their doubleheader. In game one Jake Cook singled in the go ahead, and winning, run. Aldo Gaxiola hit a grand slam home run in game two so there was no need for a late game winning hit. Buffalo and New Hampshire lost.
