To salute Vancouver's 20 hit attack, here are 10 more photos of Sunday's game against Eugene.

Leadoff man Andrew Guillotte gets another base hit to right in his second at-bat of the first inning to tack on the extra point for a 7-0 lead after J.C. Cardenas singled home the sixth run.



Gunnar Heidt crosses the plate for the C's 10th run of the game after a Lane Thomas RBI groundout to short. Heidt doubled in a run and Atkinson singled home another to put Vancouver to within one of double digits on the scoreboard.

The keeper of the new manual scoreboard next to the press box does his best to keep up as the C's sent 14 men to the plate to go ahead 10-0 after one inning. The C's would score again in the second on a J.C. Cardenas single that scored a Ryan Hissey double to make it 11-0.



Lane Thomas looks over a pitch from John Williamson in the third inning. Williamson took over for Carson Sands after getting just one out in the first.



Lane Thomas lifts a fly ball to left field.



The sacrifice fly by Lane Thomas scores Gunnar Heidt, who gets congratulated after doubling and scoring the C's 12th run of the day. Carl Wise would later smack a two-run triple in the inning to give the Canadians a two-touchdown lead.



J.C. Cardenas points to the sky after a base hit off new Emeralds pitcher Pedro Araujo to begin the fourth but the C's were kept off the board for the next four frames.



Reliever Josh DeGraaf relieved Clinton Hollon in the fifth inning and was victimized for a pair of unearned runs after the Emeralds scored twice off Hollon in the fourth. DeGraaf would put up scoreless frames in the sixth and seventh, scattering two doubles and a single and striking out three.

Michael Kraft was clipped for a ninth-inning run but got the final six outs for the C's.



The C's celebrate a 16-5 victory over Eugene, as shown by the auxiliary scoreboard next to the press box, to end a six-game home losing streak and even up the five-game series at one game apiece. Tom Robson, wearing #36, is listed as the probable starter for Monday's game according to the C's press notes. Monday's contest will mark Robson's first game in Vancouver since winning the third and deciding game of the 2013 Northwest League championship against Boise to give the C's their third straight title.

As far radar gun readings, Clinton Hollon did reach 94 and 97 miles per hour but only struck out one on the day. Josh DeGraaf came in at 78-92 MPH to pick up the victory and Michael Kraft ranged his offerings from 72-92.

Justin Atkinson had a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate before Gabriel Cenas took over at first base late in the game. Cenas was 0-for-1. Sean Hurley also got to put up his feet earlier that usual as he was replaced by James Lynch in right field. Lynch also went 0-for-1 but made a nice diving catch in right in the ninth.

J.C. Cardenas, Andrew Guillotte and Gunnar Heidt - the 9-1-2 hitters in the order - all had three-hit afternoons. Ryan Hissey and Carl Wise both had two-hit efforts with Hissey getting plunked. Connor Panas had a base hit to give every C's starter at least one notch in the hit column. Vancouver was a sizzling 12-for-24 with runners in scoring position.

Lost in the shuffle was a great relief appearance by Emeralds reliever Pedro Araujo, who struck out 10 and limited the C's to two runs over the last five innings. Cubs 2015 first round pick Ian Happ had a double and a single in a losing cause.

The C's have three more games against Eugene Monday and Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m. and Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. Tom Robson, Ryan Borucki and Jonathan Harris are listed as the probable starters for Vancouver. The San Diego Chicken will also be at Monday's game.
