Vancouver Canadians News Release


Ogden, UT- Vancouver Canadians 2B Cavan Biggio went 2-for-3 with a triple and a pair of RBI while RHP Pat Murphy was the pitcher of record as the Northwest League topped the Pioneer League 11-5 at the 2016 All-Star Game in Ogden, UT.

Biggio's triple, that scored both Chris Pieters (Eugene) and Xavier Turner (Spokane), came in the top of the 4th, which saw the Northwest League bust out for seven runs off of Pioneer League pitching. Biggio, the Canadians second baseman, would also single in the top of the 5th inning before he was removed for Kevin Rivera in the home half of the frame.

Vancouver catcher, Javier Hernandez would enter the game defensively in the bottom of the 7th inning, going 0-for-1 (groundout) while receiving pitches from three of the top pitchers in the Northwest League.

On the mound, Canadians RHP Patrick Murphy would go one innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits, yet earned the victory shortly after the Northwest League burst out with a seven-run inning which was more than enough to secure the win.
