Vancouver Canadians News Release


(Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium, Vancouver, BC) - Three runs by the Tri-City Dust Devils with two outs in the top of the 8th inning proved to be the difference as the Vancouver Canadians fell 6-4 in front of a sellout crowd of 5,157 at Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Led by the solid pitching of RHP Aaron Sanchez and a two-run double by LF Steve McQuail, the Canadians were in position to complete a five-game sweep, taking a 4-2 advantage into the final two innings.

But with two outs in the top of the 8th inning, RHP Bryan Longpre walked back-to-back hitters, before 3B Jayson Langfels delivered a two-run triple off of RHP Drew Permison to tie the game 4-4. An error by 2B Jon Berti allowed Langfels to score the go-ahead run. It was just the third time the Dust Devils had a lead the entire series.

The Dust Devils added a run in the top of the 9th inning to make the final score 6-4.

RHP Aaron Sanchez, making his second start in a C's uniform, allowed two hits and one run with five strikeouts in five dominant innings for Vancouver.

The sellout crowd of 5,157 marked the eighth straight contest that the C's have sold out a game at Scotiabank Field.

The C's now head onto the road for their final five games of the regular season in Boise, ID.
