Lorenzo Macias is not a name that most Vancouver baseball fans would
recognize, but that situation may change shortly, as Lo-Mac has landed
in the C’s outfield.

The 6′2" 188lb contact hitter has racked up a .293 batting average in
Arizona rookie ball so far this season, so while his stats are decent,
they’re not so outstanding that he just HAD to be promoted… All of
which is a roundabout way of saying, "Yo, what’s up with Jermaine
Mitchell? Has he been promoted or is his foot worse than first thought,
or what?"

Last night, the C’s rode Scott ‘Real’ Deal’s shutout pitching for six
innings, but only managed to put one run on the board in that time,
which meant when Deal (seen left) got tagged in the 7th, and Shane Presutti failed
to reduce the damage in relieving him, giving up 5 runs between them,
the Volcanoes were as good as home.

Alex Valdez had a huge night, going 3-4 with a couple of RBIs, while
Howling Greg Dowling managed a couple of hits and a run scored, but
with only two walks registered by the C’s and 7K’s against them, this
was a game that the offense lost as much as Salem-Keizer won.

The C’s roll back into town today, ready to take on the Tri-City Dust
Devils on a night that will feature fireworks at The Nat. Get your
tickets early!
