Eric Foufoulas, who caught and played second base, was Vernon’s game MVP. Vancouver grabbed an early 10-3 lead due to some Vernon errors.
The C’s battle Abbotsford in a Friday noon game and then go up against Surrey Saturday at 8:45 a.m. There are 10 teams in the tournament.
In Bantam A play in Cloverdale, Vernon lost 11-5 to Victoria with first baseman Brett Lambert game MVP.
Vernon played Ridge Meadows late Thursday afternoon and meet the Her-icanes, an all-girls team from Aldergrove, today at 1 p.m. The C’s close out the round-robin Saturday at 12:30 p.m. versus Cloverdale.
