On a day that the Indians badly needed a big pitching performance, Jordan Dray delivered; going 6 2/3 scoreless innings to win a pitching duel with Kamloops starter Coulter who was equally sharp for the Riverdogs on this day. Jordan helped himself out with a leadoff 2B in the bottom of 1 and scored on a solid single from Kyle. The 1-0 lead helped through till the bottom of 5 when Jordan was HBP leading off the inning and Alan Selman-Branston came up with a clutch 2 out 2B to plate Jordan and give the Indians a much needed insurance run. Dray continued to stymie the Kamloops bats through 2 outs in the 7th when Jacob Doyle came in to get the final out on a come backer to secure a hard fought and much needed 2-0 win over the Kamloops Riverdogs.
