On the very next Diaz pitch, Brown, a native of Oakville, Ontario, launched his fourth home run of the season over the Vancouver bullpen to give the Blue Jays farmhands all the offense they would need. One out later, Josh Kasevich grounded a single up the middle to plate Cade Doughty. The C's led off the second inning with back-to-back singles off Hops starting pitcher Yilber DIaz (1-5). Former Arizona State Sun Devil Cooper Benson (5-0) got credit for the win, allowing no hits or runs over two innings with four strikeouts and two bases on balls. Miranda and four other Vancouver hurlers combined on a three-hitter as the Canadians took five out of six for the second time against the Hops this season. The Hops' lone run came in the fourth inning on an Ivan Melendez solo home run to left of C's starter Kevin Miranda, his team-leading 12th of the season. With the win, the C's clinched a return engagement in the Northwest League championship series, improving to 36-26 on the season. The Canadians scored four runs in the second inning, capped by a three-run home run by native son Dasan Brown on their way to a 5-1 win over the Hillsboro Hops Sunday afternoon in front of a third consecutive sell-out at Nat Bailey Stadium. The Vancouver Canadians earned a playoff spot in the sweetest way possible, on their home field in front of a packed house.
