Vancouver answered with a two-run homer by their RF, Jean Joseph, to lead 2-1 in the 2nd but the Dust Devils would tie the game right back up on their side of the frame. 3B David Mershon, returning to the lineup, was hit by a pitch and then stole second, coming home on an RBI double to the left center gap by 2B Capri Ortiz that tied the game 2-2 through two innings of play.The Canadians received a sacrifice fly from C Ryan Sprock to retake the lead at 3-2 in the 3rd, but Tri-City would again even the score in the same frame. SS Kendrey Maduro reached on a bunt single and moved to second on a single by 1B Harold Coll. LF Kevyn Castillo then doubled to the right center gap, scoring Maduro and tying the game at 3-3.Separating themselves in the bottom of the 4th, the Dust Devils put up a pair of runs to take a lead they would grow for the remainder of the night. Ortiz singled and then stole second, scoring on an RBI single by CF Hayden Alvarez to give the home nine a 4-3 lead. Ruiz followed with his second RBI of the night via single, plating Alvarez to make it 5-3.Coll (single) and Castillo (double) started the 5th with hits, putting them both in scoring position with no one out. Mershon hit a sac fly to left center off Vancouver starter Troy Guthrie (3-3), bringing in Coll for a 6-3 advantage. LF Jonny McGill then got in on the fun with a trickling grounder down the right field line that snuck by first for an RBI triple, with Castillo scoring to push the lead to 7-3. Mershon later added another RBI single in the 6th, from the right side of the plate, and errors plus a sac fly by C Alberto Rios in the 8th closed out the ten-run night.All the while, Tri-City starter Peyton Olejnik (6-8) fought through a bumpy beginning to post a winning quality start in his final outing for the Dust Devils in 2026. The Cedar Lake, Indiana native went six innings and gave up three runs on four hits, striking out five and holding the Canadians off the board in the middle innings. Relievers Francis Texido (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 3 Ks) and Sam Tookoian (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H) dutifully covered the final three frames for the win.DUST DEVILS NOTES-The team lashed 17 hits on the night, the most in a game by Tri-City since the wild and historic 19-18, 11 inning win over Eugene on August 13, 2025, in Pasco. Kevyn Castillo and Harold Coll each had three hits, and four others (Hayden Alvarez, Kendrey Maduro, David Mershon and Jorge Ruiz) put up multi-hit nights. Every man in the lineup had at least one hit.-The Dust Devils finished 2026 with a winning record on Thursdays, as the victory gave them an 11-10 record on the third day of a series week. Tuesdays (7-14) and Wednesdays (5-16) were tough on Tri-City this year, but the team stands with identical 13-9 records for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays coming into the final weekend of the season.-Thursday night in the Northwest League included a 5-2 win for the Everett AquaSox at Avista Stadium over the Spokane Indians, with the Frogs now having taken the first three of the series. The Eugene Emeralds ended up taking the rubber match of their three-game set with the Hillsboro Hops by scoring seven runs in the bottom of the 8th to erase a 6-0 deficit and win 7-6 at PK Park.YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE: A ZOOPERSTARTri-City and Vancouver line up for game four of their six-game series at 6:30 p.m. Friday night at Gesa Stadium, where the long-awaited return of the Zooperstars will take place to entertain in-between innings.

Shores gave up a two-run home run in the top of the 1st to Canadians C Ryan Sprock but held the line from there, going 6.2 innings and striking out eight in his longest start as a professional. Hechavarria gave the visitors a quality start, allowing only one run on five hits in six innings of work.That run came for the Dust Devils in the bottom of the 3rd, after CF Hayden Alvarez singled and reached second on a pickoff throwing error by Hechavarria. Alvarez then stole third with two out, coming in easily on SS Kendrey Maduro’s RBI double to right center to make it a 2-1 game through three innings.The score stayed there to the bottom of the 7th, where LF Jonny McGill drew a two-out walk and stole second to get into scoring position for C Alberto Rios. The righty then pulled a double to the left center gap, scoring McGill to tie the game at 2-2, and came in on an RBI single by Alvarez that gave Tri-City a 3-2 lead going to the 8th.Sprock struck again for Vancouver in the 8th, doubling to the same gap to score Dust Devil alum DH David Calabrese, who continued his monster week for the Canadians. The 3-3 tie would not last long, though, with Coll’s single off reliever Bradley Wilson (0-1) putting Tri-City back in front at 4-3 before Mershon’s triple closed the scoring.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3kYLpw_1Erb45Yr00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3kYLpw_1Erb45Yr00" width="1468" height="1071" ></figure>Get the latest from MiLBSign up to receive our weekly Baseball Traveler newsletter to stay updated on Minor League Baseball business and cultureDust Devils closer Sam Tookoian (3-3) gave up the game-tying hit in the 8th but retired Vancouver 1-2-3 in the 9th, grabbing the win as a result.DUST DEVILS NOTES-Kendrey Maduro’s single extended his hitting streak to 13 games in a row, matching the longest streaks of the season (Jorge Ruiz, twice). Also, Alberto Rios’s 7th inning RBI double pushed his hit streak to ten games and his on-base streak to 20 in a row. The on-base streak stands as the fourth longest by a Dust Devil this year, with Harold Coll reaching in 26 straight games earlier this summer.-Tri-City had only one inning (the 4th) Saturday night in which a runner did not reach base and had hits in six of the eight innings they came to the plate.-On Saturday night in the Northwest League the Eugene Emeralds scored twice in the top of the 9th to beat the Hillsboro Hops 5-4 at Hops Ballpark, giving them a half-game lead over Vancouver in the battle for the best record in the Second Half.
