The Tropics finish up their road trip in Vancouver with a three-game series against the Mounties at Northwoods Outpost.



Game 1-Hawaii starter Michael Kalil pitches five scoreless innings and slugger Adam Backhouse hits a three-run homer as the Tropics take the series opener.

Kalil allowed four hits, walked two and struck out three batters as he improves to 2-2 with a 6.18 ERA. Phil Thompson allowed the only Mountie run on three hits in 2 2/3 innings of work. Angel Hernandez pitched 1 1/3 innings allowing two hits while fanning four batters.

Backhouse was 1 for 4 with a walk, three-run homer, scored a run and drove in four runs. Mitch Wareham was 1 for 4 with a walk and scored two runs. Adhyapayana Mehta was 2 for 4 as the #2 hitter. He scored two runs and drove in a run.



Hawaii wins 6-1.



Game 2- The Tropics managed just three hits but turned an error into an unearned run and edged out the Mounties in second game of the series. Thomas Kramer was 1 for 2 with a triple and a scored a run while Will Patterson was 0 for 2 with a walk and scored a run.

Hawaii starter Austin George is beginning to get things together as he pitched seven innings allowing a run on for hits and two walks. He struck out four as he improves to 2-3 with a 4.89 ERA. Dominic Thompson followed that with a scorless 8th inning as he allowed a hit, walked one and fanned two batters. Jesus Rios pitched the 9th allowing a hit and struck out a batter as he earned his 5th save.



Hawaii wins 2-1.



Game 3- Vancouver Mounties starter Phil Cole no-hit the Tropics in the finale and just missed a perfect game by walking two. He fanned ten batters as the Mounties avoid the sweep.

Hawaii starter Terry Hansen was the hard luck loser as he pitched eight innings giving up a run on four hits with six Ks. He falls to 3-1 with a 2.21 ERA.

Hansen said, “I pitched well but Cole was better. The guys all came back to the dugout shaking their heads. When a knuckleball pitcher is on, he is almost unhittable.”



Vancouver wins 1-0.



The Tropics win the series 2-1.
