Spokane Indians News Release
Spokane, Wash. - Switch-hitter Adael Adamor connected on two-run homers from both sides of the plate, as the Indians cruised to a 15-8 series finale win over Everett in front of 2,754 fans at Avista Stadium for the Pajama Party Day Game. The win allowed the Spokane to split the series with the AquaSox and improve their record to .500 (9-9).
