Vancouver CanadiansThe Vancouver Canadian won 10-5 Wednesday night against the Hillsboro Hops thanks to a four-run first inning.

Payton Williams had another strong night with six total bases to go with the home run and two RBI’s.
Jackson Hornung had a triple to go with six total bases while Nick Goodwin had a double, three total bases and three RBI’s. Jay Harry had six total bases, four RBI’s and a home run.

Dunedin Blue JaysWeather was a factor in two games for the Dunedin Blue Jays Wednesday against the Lakeland Flying Tigers, with one game seeing the Flying Tigers win 4-2 in eight and the second postponed.
Dunedin had a 2-0 lead after two, thanks in part to J.R. Freehy scoring on an Eddie Micheletti Jr single.
In the eighth inning, Lakeland made it a 4-2 deadlock when Jackson Strong ground the ball into a double play, allowing David Smith to score.
There will be two games on Thursday between Dunedin and Lakeland, with the first game of the doubleheader starting at 5:05 pm ET.
The Blue Jays will send Daniel Guerra to the mound, but no Clearwater starter will be announced for game one. Starters for game two are TBD.
