(Spokane Indians)
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Indians' designated hitter Todd McDonald hit a game-tying, two-RBI double in the sixth inning, but the Eugene Emeralds snuck past Spokane by a score of 4-3 in front of 4,647 fans at Avista Stadium on $100 Strikeout Night presented by Banner Bank and KXLY-AM 920.
Down 3-1, McDonald stepped up to the plate to line a deep double to center field to bring Dylan Moore and Sherman Lacrus home. The Australian-born power-hitter had his first two-hit game as a Spokane Indian, also collecting a single earlier in the contest.
Cody Palmquist started on the bump for Spokane and scatted seven hits, three runs and struck out four. He exited the game with a tie score for Jason Richman, who allowed Eugene's game-deciding run to earn his third loss of the season. Adam Choplick struck out three in the ninth and lowered his ERA to 2.04.
Dean Long added an RBI single, Moore went 1-for-4 and Lacrus garned one hit and two walks.
The Spokane Indians continue their five-game set against the Eugene Emeralds tomorrow, Thursday, July 30th, for Baseball Card Giveaway Night presented by U.S. Linen & Uniform, 103.1 KCDA and The Splash. The first 1,000 fans who enter the gates of Avista Stadium, and all Banner Bank Diamond Club members, will receive a set of 2015 Spokane Indians baseball cards!
