The Burnaby Braves invaded Bird field the next night with the Indians looking to avenge an earlier loss at home to these same Braves. Burnaby entered this game with a 10-26 record which is difficult to understand given the talent they do have, especially on the mound. Braves starter Brodwell was solid early, throwing hard and keeping the Tri-City bats at bay. The visitors got on SP Jacob Doyle with 3 quick runs including a mammoth HR by Joey. Doyle settled down after that 1st inning and pitched well through the 6th holding the Braves to the 3 early runs. The Indians got 1 back in the bottom of the 1st when Jordan reached base on a dropped 3rd strike and came around to score on a single by Kyle. Tri-City got their 2nd run when Jordan doubled with 2 out in the 3rd and Kyle once again singled him in to cut the Burnaby lead to 3-2. Braves SP Brodwell and another team-mate had to leave the game after 4 innings as they both live in Gibsons and had to catch the last ferry home. Indians offered to pay for a hotel night as the game was delayed an hour due to an umpiring snafu on behalf of the home team. However the Braves 2 relievers continued their dominance over the Indians hitters striking out 16 Indian hitters on the night. Kyle came in to relieve Jacob in the 7th and promptly walked the 2 top bottom hitters in the Braves order. This would prove costly as the Braves managed to pick up an insurance run in the inning as a result and led 4-2 going to the bottom of 7. Indians refused to die as Beau led off with a 2B and then scored on a single from Matt Clay to close the gap to 4-3. After Max was hit by a pitch, the Braves gave Jordan an intentional walk to load the bases and the Indians could not come up with the big 2 out hit with the bases juiced. Final score was 4-3 Braves. A very tough loss for the home team, which left everyone scratching their heads as to why Burnaby's record is what it is.
