Arij Fransen , Tasker Strobel , Weston Lombard , and Derrick Cherry each pitched an inning of relief, while Noah Millikan ’s three-inning appearance spanned the fourth through sixth frames.

Raphaël is the kind of player our pitchers will enjoy throwing to, and his ability to throw out base runners will be critical when we face division opponents who like to run.” Pelletier is the seventh Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining pitcher Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), pitcher James Bradwell (North Vancouver, British Columbia), catcher/infielder Mason Dobie (Meaford, Ontario), infielder/outfielder Adam Hall (Lucan, Ontario), pitcher Eli Saul (Vancouver, British Columbia), and infielder T.J.
