HILLSBORO, OR – The Vancouver Canadians fell to the Spokane Indians (Rockies) 4-1 Friday night at Ron Tonkin Field.

Spokane led 2-0 after scoring single runs in the third and sixth, but starter Sem Robberse (L, 0-3) was otherwise solid in the sixth start of his High-A career. The 19-year-old from Woudenberg, Netherlands went six innings, scattered seven hits, walked one and K’d four but took the tough-luck loss.

The C’s spoiled the shutout with a run on two hits in the bottom of the eighth. Zac Cook doubled with one out, went to third on a ground out then scored when Spencer Horwitz singled him home. Horwitz’s hit – which came with two strikes against him – was his first and only of night to extend his league-record hitting streak to 28 consecutive games.

Spokane scored two runs in the top of the ninth to put the game away and win 4-1.

Will Robertson paced the offence with two hits while Alex Nolan (Burlington, Ont.) logged two scoreless innings of relief.

Right-hander Paxton Schultz gets the ball for Vancouver in game five of the series tomorrow night. Will Ethridge goes for Spokane.
