Matt Manning scuffled on Friday while Ulrich Bojarski stayed hot for the Whitecaps

Drew VerHagen was excellent for seven innings on Friday and the offense gave him an early an early lead to work with. VerHagen struck out nine and allowed just one a run on six hits and a walk. Kody Eaves and Jake Rogers rapped line drive RBI hits in the second to put the Hens up 3-0, and the pitching staff took it from there. After failing to score for five innings, the Hens put a cap on this one with a four-run ninth. The big blows came courtesy of a Mikie Mahtook solo shot, and later, back-to-back RBI triples from Daz Cameron and Jacob Robson.
