SALEM, July 25—After blowing four straight games to Yakima, the Vancouver Capilanos pulled off a series sweep on the road. They took a pair of games from Salem, 6-2 and 8-3, Sunday to win the three-game series.
Salem pitcher Bob Stevenson was one pitch away from a seven-inning shutout in the first game and that pitch hit Len Tran.
With Tran on, the Caps went for Stevenson's offerings with gusto, hammering him for five hits and six big runs, including a two-run triple by Frank Mullens, before they stopped.
In the second game, Charlie Mead cracked out a home run with none on in the second to start the Brownies toward an 11-hit, eight-run triumph.

YAKIMA, July 25—Del Owens hurled his second straight shutout as the Victoria Athletics blanked the Yakima Packers 3-0 in the second game of two here Sunday. It was Owens' ninth win.
First inning singles from Vic Buccola, Lou Kubiak and Babe Jensen, a wild pitch and an error gave the A's two runs. The final run scored in the sixth when Jensen drew a walk, stole second and came home on Jack Palmer's double.
Len Kasparovitch gained his 12th victory in a relief role as Victoria overcame Yakima 8-7 in the opener. Four hits in the first and one in the second gave starting pitcher Frank Logue a five-run lead, but he was unable to hold it. The Packers scored markers themselves in the fourth inning and went ahead with a pair of tallies in the fifth.
Archie Wilson's 21st triple of the season, with the bases loaded in the sixth, put the A's back in front, 8-6.
