A new line in the annals of Vancouver Canadians history was written Sunday afternoon at The Nat thanks to a 3-2 win over the Spokane Indians in front of a sellout crowd, the 10th consecutive victory and 18th in the last 20 games for the hottest team in North America.
After matching a winning streak record for a third time in the last four years yesterday, the 2025 C's now own the longest winning streak since the franchise began at the turn of the century.
It's a stretch that dates back to June 5th, when the Canadians bested the Tri-City Dust Devils to start the streak.
The Canadians have lost only one game in June, losing on June 4th to the Dust Devils by a score of 5-7, and have won 18 of their last 20 games.
Recent Canadians' squads have hit the nine-game mark on multiple occasions but have struggled to collect that elusive double-digit mark until yesterday.
During this consecutive win streak, the bats have exploded to the tune of an 84-29 run differential, with the Canadians surpassing the double-digit run mark on four different occasions.
Their best night came on June 13th, with the Canadians smashing Spokane by a score of 15-0. Six players on the team had multi-hit days, and collectively, they posted 16 hits and nine walks.
With the win, the Canadians are now 35-28 and maintain sole possession of first place in the Northwest League first half standings.
As of this writing, second place Everett [SEA] was leading 4-0 in the fourth inning against Tri-City [LAA]. Vancouver's unofficial magic number, a combination of C's wins and Everett losses is currently three, though third place Hillsboro is also still in contention; they're two games back of first.
Should Everett lose tonight, they would be tied with the Hops for second place and find themselves two games behind the C's with three to play. If the Frogs win, they will remain one game back of first.
The Canadians own the tiebreaker over Hillsboro, but Everett has the tiebreaker over Vancouver.
The Canadians will continue to keep the streak alive in Eugene when they face the Emeralds.
