Wellman was the best man at the plate for the Capilanos, hitting a triple and a homer. Russ McCormack hit a two-run four-bagger for the Chiefs in the first inning.
In the opener, John Cordell allowed five runs in the third, which broke a 1-all tie and allowed Wenatchee starter Charlie Beamon to coast the rest of the way. The big blow was Tom Self's grand slam home run.
Laurie Monroe smashed a three run homer in the sixth and also singled in a run. Jake Helmuth added a trio of singles and Wenatchee pounded 14 hits off Cordell.
Marv Williams doubled and scored on Wellman's single for Vancouver in the first inning, while K Chorlton singled in Nick Pesut in the seventh.

KENNEWICK [Tri-City Herald, Aug. 16]—Because of the Victoria folding, the Tri-City Braves have a day off today, and technically have the next two days off, too, although exhibition games with the Walla Walla Bears are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday night.
And while taking time off, may be playing manager Edo Vanni and the rest of his crew, can come up with some answer to the problem of how to win a ballgame.
The Braves dropped Nos. 9 and 10 straight Sunday with a 6-3 and 12-3 losses to the Yakima Bears. It gave Yakima a clean sweep of the four-gome series.
The next home game will be a "loner" against Lewiston Thursday night. Then Tri-City takes off to play Yakima, the team they have beaten but once this season.
The wins Sunday moved the Bears up to second place in the league standings. [...]
Tri-City suffered another temporary player loss Sunday night when Gordy Brunswick was called to Tacoma because of the illness of his wife.
In the games Sunday, the Braves hit but couldn't come through in the clutch in the first game. The 12 base blows off John Carmichael could produce but three runs.
Yakima scored two of its six runs on homers by catcher Lon Summers.
The others came on singles by Don Pries and Len Noren followed by John Albini's double, and two walks, a single and a double by Dick Briskey.
In the second game, Briskey hit a homer, triple, double and single in five times up.
Albini also got a homer with one on in the fourth.
[WILfan note: In the opener, Edo Vanni doubled in one run and singled in another, while Len Tran's base hit brought in the third ... Carmichael struck out seven Braves and didn't walk any ... Herm Lewis and Noren had three hits each in the night game ... Vanni tripled in Dick Watson in the third inning then scored on Tran's single, while Bob Moniz singled in Terry Carroll in the eighth.
