The Coquitlam Reds are hoping to gain some ground in the Premier Baseball League standings when the club hits the road for a handful of games on Vancouver Island this weekend. And the team will face some tough competition.
On Saturday, Coquitlam takes on the league-leading Victoria Mariners in a doubleheader, a club that has yet to suffer a loss in eight games so far this season. They will follow up on Sunday with a doubleheader against the Victoria Eagles. The Reds split last weekend’s games against the North Delta Blue Jays, taking a 2-1 win in the first match but coming up short 11-6 in the second.
Coquitlam pitcher Indigo Diaz took the win in a game that saw runs from Dignan Ius in the fourth and Christian Gilchrist in the fifth, while Ius and Owen Lusztig both batted in runs.
In the second game, the Reds’ Kole Benard took the loss on the mound.
