Box ScoreBy Larry Read
EDMONTON, AB—The Edmonton Riverhawks were hoping that home field would be an advantage as they opened up a six game West Coast League homestand. The Riverhawks took the Victoria HarbourCats Tuesday night at RE/MAX Field with the visitors coming away with a 4-0 victory.
The win snapped Victoria’s three-game losing streak as they improved to 4-6 on the season. The Riverhawks fell to 3-6. There were 3,159 fans on hand for Strike Out Cancer night. The promotion, presented by Delta Valley Landscaping saw the Riverhawks wearing special, purple-coloured uniforms. They were auctioned off online supporting the Kids with Cancer Society and the Riverhawks Community Foundation.
Victoria scored four runs on eight hits. The Riverhawks had three hits and committed one error in the ball game. It was the HarbourCats second straight victory and third of the season in contests between the two squads.
The HarbourCats opened the scoring in the top of the third inning. #26 Declan Brown singled to open the inning off Edmonton Starter #19 Carter Funk. Two batters later, #14 David Krahn went ‘yard’ over the fence in left field. It was a two-run shot to give Victoria the 2-0 lead on Krahn’s first homer of the season.
Krahn was involved in scoring Victoria’s third run of the game in the top of the eighth. #15 Tristan Beuhring led off the inning by being walked by Riverhawks reliever #40 Nikau Heeney. Beuhring crossed the plate when Krahn slammed a single into left field and was tagged out trying to steal second. Krahn finished 2 for 4 with 3 RBI and a run scored.
In the top of the ninth, Victoria’s #28 Logan Shepard singled to second base and scored when # 33 Marcus Nolan sent a one out sacrifice fly to left field to make it 4-0.
#54 Hudson Lance started for the HarbourCats and was the winning pitcher. He went six innings, giving up no runs on two hits and striking out three. Fink went seven innings as he suffered his first defeat of the season. He surrendered two runs on six hits, striking out five and walked none. #19 Daniel Tovar earned his first save of the year for Victoria tossing three innings of one hit ball and striking out two.
