The Boise Hawks (16-12) beat the Vancouver Canadians (14-14) on Friday night by a final score of 6-0. It was Boise's first shutout of the season as Vancouver collects just two hits.
Danny Edgeworth finally broke the scoring open in the bottom of the third. After singles for Matt Hearn and Terrin Vavra with two outs, Luis Castro drew a walk, and it was Edgeworth who ripped a single back up the middle to give Boise the 2-0 lead.
With runners still on the corners, Luke Morgan added another run for Boise with another base-hit up the middle to score Castro and it was 3-0 Hawks after the third inning.
Miguel Ausua gave the Hawks four innings of no-hit baseball. Ausua walked two, but struck-out four. Vancouver got their first hit of the game off Colton Pate who came into the game in the 5th inning and went two innings of scoreless baseball for the Hawks.
