Today, Shawn Callahan played 3rd base. Last night Ty Bubalo was playing left field. What next? Isaac Omura pitching?

A mostly boring game saw the C’s manage only 3 hits through the first 6 innings of today’s game between the Vancouver Canadians and Everett Aquasox.

A 2-run dinger over the right field wall by Wilber Perez (pictured) in
the bottom of the 3rd say the C’s catch up to the Everett Aquasox, who
had scored two off Trey Shields in the 2nd, and though it seemed like
the Canadians had simply forgotten how to hit altogether when the 7th
rolled around, a big inning saw the C’s finally bust out of their
hitting slump which had seen them only manage 8 hits in 19 innings.

Haas Pratt led off with a single, Callahan followed that with another,
and with a new pitcher on the mound, Tum-Tum boyd drilled a double to
left to score two runs, before Recker singled to send Boyd to 3rd.

Manager Juan Navarrete, however, opted to send Boyd home on the throw,
which was a damn fine throw at that. As the catcher grabbed the ball,
Boyd dropped his shoulder and planted a hockey-hit on the backstop,
jarring the ball loose and scoring a run.

And THAT’S the Vancouver team we know and love. C’s lead 5-3.

On the mound, Dangerous Bradley Davis shut things down through the 8th
before coming out again for the 9th with the Sox looking desperate for
a comeback. Alas…

Bryan Sabatella: Struck out.
Michael Saunders: Struck out.
Luis Valbuena: Ground out.

Vancouver wins, and if Salem-Kaizer lose against Eugene later tonight,
the C’s will have stretched their NWL lead back out to three games.
