VANCOUVER, BC: Two costly two-out errors enabled the Vancouver Canadians to score five unearned runs in the first two innings of the game on the way to a 6-1 victory over the Everett AquaSox.

Vancouver jumped in front in the first inning after taking advantage of a two-out error by Everett second baseman James Parker. Parker's fielding error on a ground ball hit by Gabby Martinez extended the inning and was followed by three consecutive RBI singles from Josh Kasevich, Garrett Spain, and Jeff Wehler. The Canadians led 3-0 after the first inning.

Another two-out fielding error off the bat of Martinez cost the AquaSox two more runs in the second inning when centerfielder Blake Rambusch and right fielder Colin Davis collided trying to catch a routine fly ball. Rambusch was charged with the error as Dasan Brown and Cade Doughty scored on the play to extend the Canadians' lead 5-0.

AquaSox starting pitcher Reid VanScoter overcame the early mistakes and shut out the Canadians in the final three innings that he pitched. VanScoter pitched five innings and allowed five runs, all of which were unearned. Meanwhile, Canadian starting pitcher Michael Dominguez pitched five scoreless innings, allowing only one hit, five walks, and five strikeouts.

The Canadians tacked on another run in the sixth inning when Devonte Brown scored on a Dasan Brown double. Andrew Miller drove in the AquaSox's only run of the game when he singled with the bases loaded, scoring Cole Young on his 20th birthday. Everett's lone run provided the final score of the game as the Canadians held the AquaSox to only four hits on the way to the 6-1 win. Dominguez improved his season record to 7-2 while VanScoter fell to 8-4.
