2B Tim Locastro had a productive night at the plate, reaching base four out of five appearances, with two hits, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch, accounting for two runs and turning a key double play in the bottom of the third when the game still within reach.
Volcanoes starter LHP Nicholas Gonzalez failed to make it out of the first inning, recording just a single out and allowing four runs to score, taking the loss for the second time against Vancouver this season.
With the win, Vancouver moves to 11-7 on the season, bringing them three games of Spokane for the North Division lead. The five-game series with Salem-Keizer continues with a special Canada Day "ËNooner at the Nat. First pitch scheduled for 1:05 PST.
