C's open post-season with 2-1 win over Spokane

(Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium - Vancouver, B.C.) - After having Game One of the 2017 Northwest League Playoffs delayed by a day due to poor air quality conditions in Spokane, WA, Canadians SS Logan Warmoth hit a two-run home run in the top of the 8^th inning to give Vancouver a 2-1 victory over Spokane on Wednesday night.
The game was re-located to Vancouver but still allowed for the Indians to play as the 'home' team giving them the game's final at-bats which almost proved costly for the Canadians who after taking a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the 9^th inning, saw closer RHP William Ouellette struggle allowing a run and putting two more on-base before getting Spokane C Matt Whatley to ground out, ending the game.
Vancouver Canadians starter RHP Nate Pearson dominated over his four-innings striking out 10 Indians hitters while allowing just one hit, walking four. Pearson escaped trouble in the bottom of the 4^th when he walked the bases-loaded on twelve (12) pitches before getting CF Miguel Aparicio to ground out leaving all three Indians on-base.
The Canadians ended the night with 15 strikeouts and saw their consecutive scoreless innings streak end at 40 2/3 when Ouellette allowed the lone run in the 9^th inning. The streak started on August 30^th in the 5^th inning against Boise.
With the win, Vancouver moves to within one game of clinching a spot in the Northwest League Championship Series which is set for September 9^th through 13^th (subject to change without notice). The Canadians move to 10-3 (.769) this season vs. Spokane and 6-1 (.857) out at historic Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium.
