Despite a pitching performance that limited the Tri-City Dust Devils to just 3 hits over nine innings, the Vancouver Canadians saw a potential victory thrown away Tuesday, behind untimely walks, errors and wild pitches.

While Vancouver’s hitters were far from all-conquering, the 1B/DH combo of Dusty Napoleon and Mike Lissman combined to give the C’s every chance of a win. Napoleon went 2-3 with a pair of doubles, a walk and a run scored, while Lissman drove in a pair of runs, scored one himself, and hit a two-run home to left in the 9th inning to cap off a 2-4 day.

With the ball, Pedro Figueroa was a human highlight reel for the C’s, tossing five innings of two-hit, seven-strikeout ball, but third baseman Francisco Tirado booted a ball in the first inning that saw two runs score, and Ben Hornbeck’s shaky outing in relief (2IP, 2ER) gave the Dust Devils the breathing room they needed to claim victory.

Lissman’s home run shot was his fifth of the season, which is all the more impressive considering he has only played 21 games for the team. Lissman hit two dingers in 54 games with Low-A Kane County prior to his arrival in Vancouver.

The C’s next play at Nat Bailey Stadium Thursday against the division-leading Salem Keizer Volcanoes.
