He was at 100 pitches and was pulled at 6.2 innings and seven K's. Jonathan Lavalee came on to get the save.
Dasan Brown doubled to lead off the game and scored on a Michael Turconi single. In the second inning Charles McAdoo doubled and scored on a Cade Doughty single. Later Gabriel Martinez doubled and Robert Brooks singled him home to made it 3-0. McAdoo and Doughty had two hits each in a nine hit game for NH.
Vancouver trailed 4-1 in the sixth when Adrian Pinto hit a grand slam home run to make it 5-4. And that was the final score. Pinto also doubled. The C's had eight hits, Pinto had the only extra base hits and the only multi hit game.
