Clemens guides Canadians to win in Game 1

Vancouver came out of the gates slowly Saturday in the opener of the Northwest League Championship Series. Behind Kacy Clemens, it didn't take long to right the ship.
The Blue Jays prospect went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored as the Canadians topped Eugene, 7-5, in Game 1 of the best-of-5 Northwest League Finals at PK Park.

The 23-year-old singled leading off the first inning and came around to score the game's first run on a base hit by Brock Lundquist. After the Emeralds grabbed a 4-2 lead in the fourth, Clemens put the Canadians back on top with a two-run single that sparked a four-run fifth.
