Pasco, Washington -- Vancouver managed just one hit on Tuesday opening a three-game series out at Gesa Stadium where the Tri-City Dust Devils won a fourth consecutive game over the Canadians 4-2 in front of 1,713 fans. The loss keeps Vancouver four games back of North Division leading Spokane with 12 second half games remaining.
After
With the loss, Vancouver (11-15) remain four back of Spokane who lost to Everett. Heading into Wednesday's game Vancouver is looking at two potential post-season scenarios:
a) Erase the Spokane Indians four game lead in the North and win the division outright.
b) Have Spokane win the second half which would give them both first and second pennants -- leaving Vancouver, Tri-City and Everett to fight for the best second half winning percentage. The team that has the best winning percentage at the end of the season would then meet Spokane for Game 1 of the North Division Final. As it stands after Tuesday, Vancouver is three back of Tri-City and two back of Everett. Should Vancouver tie with either Tri-City and/or Everett in winning percentage - the Canadians do not own either secondary tiebreakers.
