Vancouver Canadians News Release
(Memorial Stadium - Everett, WA) - Everett's Ben Billingsley crushed his first grand slam of the summer leading the Aquasox to a 9-4 victory over the Vancouver Canadians Tuesday night.
The Canadians jumped out of the gates early picking up a pair of runs off of Seattle Mariners RHP Carlos Silva in the top of the 1st inning. Silva made a rehab start for the Aquasox and left with his Class-A Short-Season squad down 2-0 heading into the 2nd inning.
The Aquasox got to Canadians starter RHP Joselito Adames scoring four runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning and four more runs in the bottom of the 4th inning to bust Tuesday's game wide open. Billingsley's grand slam gave the Aquasox nine runs on nine hits off of Adames before the Canadians starter was chased from the game.
Vancouver scored two runs in the top of the 7th inning when SS Michael Gilmartin and RF Myrio Richard hit back-to-back home runs to cut the Everett lead to 9-4.
