Vancouver Canadians

The Vancouver Canadians had the weather and the baseball gods on their side this time as they exploded for six runs in the seventh inning in this contest. With Tuesday’s game cancelled due to unplayable field conditions, a Gabby Martinez three-run homer got the Canadians going after Josh Kasevich had doubled and Garrett Spain walked to start the seventh inning.

The Hillsboro Hops held the 2-0 lead to this point in the game but Vancouver wasn’t done yet following the Martinez home run, Ryan McCarty hit a double before the inning’s first two outs. Cade Doughty like Martinez came through smashing a two-out double that scored two runs. The Hop's pitching change didn’t make that much difference as Josh Kasevich followed through with another RBI single.

Hillsboro would score one in the eighth and threaten with the bases loaded but they couldn’t get any more off of Conor Larkin who got the save after setting down the Hops in order in the 9th.

The Canadians are back at it today at 5:05 p.m. local time for game one of a doubleheader the rainout of August’s 29th’s game will be made up as game two. Devereaux Harrison will pitch game one for Vancouver with Kevin Miranda on the hill for game two. Starters for the Hops are TBA.

Buffalo Bisons

The Indianapolis Indians made it 1-0 in the second inning but the Buffalo Bisons wasted no time in their half of that inning scoring four runs to get the 6-2 victory on Wednesday night.

Buffalo used Hayden Juenger, Paxton Schultz, Chad Green, Matt Wisler, Connor Cooke, and Gabe Klobosits to get nine strikeouts, three walks and only two earned runs in this game.

The offence was spread around amongst Nathan Lukes who had one hit and two RBI’s, Catcher James Ritchie who had two runs and a hit, Addison Barger with a run and a hit, and Rafael Lantigua with a run, hit and an RBI.

The Bisons and Indians are at it again today with Andrew Bash up against RHP Quinn Priester. Brash is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA to go with 66 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.28.

New Hampshire Fisher Cats

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats used runs in the seventh and eighth innings to beat the Reading Reading Fightin’ Phils 5-3 win on Wednesday night.

The Fisher Cats managed only one run until the seventh inning when Michael Turconi doubled to score a run and then later scored himself when Reading’s shortstop Casey Martin awkwardly tried to turn a double play.

Reading committed another error in the 8th when 3rd baseman Nick Ward missed a ground ball hit by Andres Sosa. Damiano Palmegiani doubled before that and Will Robertson had walked. Rainer Nunez had singled to left for an RBI-scoring Robertson.

A pair of former Vancouver Canadians were significant in this game as Devonte Brown made his first start in Double-A. He hit a double and went 1-for-3.

Michael Dominguez recorded a career-high 10 strikeouts over five innings, two earned runs off of solo homers and three walks in a no-decision. He has struck down 30 hitters over 22 innings in five Double-A starts.
