Vancouver Canadians April 23rd Recap

Posted on by

The Vancouver Canadians began their six game homestand against the Spokane Indians last night at Nat Bailey Stadium last night, here’s how it went.

Well, to start, Vancouver definitely did not play their best baseball in their four to zero loss. It just didn’t seem to go their way last night, wouldn’t be the only Vancouver team that happened to yesterday… The Canadians couldn’t get much going on the offensive side of the ball, being shut out and only getting six hits on thirty-two at bats, totaling a .188 batting average and striking out eleven times. They also had eight players left on base (LOB) and went zero and five with runners in scoring position (RISP). On the defensive side, there were a few nice plays here and there with one error that occurred, compared to the Spokane’s zero errors.

Spokane scored their first run in the second inning, as a build up from the throwing error from third baseman Ryan McCarty. The Canadians continued going three up three down through the third inning, and the Indians scored two more in the third to make the score three to zero. Vancouver had runners in scoring position in the third, but couldn’t make anything out of it. In the top of the 4th, first baseman Trevor Boone hit a solo home run for Spokane, the only one of the game, and put them up four to zero over Vancouver. That would be the last run of the game. Spokane only had one more hit than the Canadians, and only went one for five in RISP, but the one time was enough to edge past Vancouver. They got another chance to put some runs on the board in the bottom of the seventh inning, however couldn’t get their hits going at the right times. Chris McElvian moves to 0 and 2 on  the season as a starter, with his ERA moving in the wrong direction from 4.50 to 5.25. The Canadians move to 7 and 9 on the season, and look to get back into the win column with a win against the Indians tonight.
