VICTORIA, B.C. – The Edmonton Riverhawks continued their dominance against the Victoria HarbourCats this season, winning 8-3 Tuesday night.

Tyler Patrick (Fresno State) made his second appearance of the season for the Cats after his impressive debut last week against Nanaimo. After getting through the first inning unscathed, he allowed his first run when he missed the mark on a throw to third, allowing the runner to score on the error. A sacrifice fly added to the Hawks’ advantage, and they led 2-0 after two innings.
