The Vancouver Canadians made it a second win in a row against the Everett AquaSox, coming out on top 8-4 in Wednesday night’s action.

Lance Jones led the hit parade, becoming a candidate to move upwards thanks to a 3/5 game that including a double, a n RBI, three runs and a stolen base and he’s now hitting .409 for the young season. Javier Hernandez, returning to Vancouver this year, was also 3/5 with two triples and three RBI. Bryan Lizardo was 2/4 with a double, an RBI and two runs while Deiferson Barreto was 2/4 with an RBI.
