In the sixth inning, Damon Dues, who was just brought up from San Jose, hit his first home run to right-center field. A few batters later, Luis Matos doubled on a fly ball to center field and brought in two more runners to make the score 9-2.

To end the inning, Hunter Bishop reached first base on a throwing error by Vancouver’s shortstop, Alex De Jesus, which brought in their last run of the game.

Vancouver sketched in one more run before the night ended. Damiano Palmergiani hit a home run over the left-field wall to make the final score 10-3.
