Barker Homers as Canadian Premier Downs Langley Blaze in Arizona

Pete Orr and Taylor Green of the Milwaukee Brewers meet with the players prior to today's game against the Langley Blaze

Canadian Premier delivered a polished, complete performance Friday, riding a relentless offensive attack and steady pitching to a 10–3 victory over the Langley Blaze.

At the heart of the win was Elliot Lascelles, who set the tone from his first trip to the plate and never let up. The right-hander went 3-for-4, lining singles in the first, third, and fifth innings, consistently igniting rallies and applying pressure to the Blaze defense.

Canadian Premier struck quickly in the opening frame. Maxime Blain laced a single to center to bring home the game’s first run, and Christian Iriotakis followed by turning on a pitch and driving a double down the left field line to make it 2–0.

Langley answered in the third, capitalizing on a double from Finn Hoeschen and a defensive miscue to even the score. But the tie proved brief.

The game turned decisively in the fifth inning, when Canadian Premier broke it open with a four-run surge. Sam Ellis started the rally, and Lascelles and Robert Omidi followed with run-producing singles as the lineup strung together quality at-bats to seize a 6–2 advantage.

From there, Canadian Premier remained firmly in control. Zach Barker added a finishing touch in the seventh, launching a solo home run to left field to extend the lead and underscore the club’s offensive depth.

On the mound, Canadian Premier’s staff delivered a composed, multi-arm effort. Damarcus Rideout Carter opened with two hitless innings, working efficiently while flashing a fastball in the 89–92 mph range and a tight, high-spin slider. 

Gavin Campbell followed by missing bats, striking out three while touching 91 mph.

Adam Nasrallah continued the momentum with two scoreless innings of his own, mixing speeds effectively and allowing just two hits while striking out three. 

Xavier Raphael Brault closed the door, surrendering only one hit and showcasing a power fastball that climbed to 92 mph.

In total, Canadian Premier pounded out 12 hits, with Evan York and Robert Omidi each driving in a pair. Ellis chipped in with two hits, and the club backed its pitching staff with clean defensive work, highlighted by a well-turned double play.

With the win, Canadian Premier carries momentum into Saturday, when they travel to face the Seattle Mariners.
