Spokane Indians News Release
On a night the Indians hit three home runs, it was a bloop hit to shallow center field that provided the difference. Juan Guerrero flared a two-run single off Everett reliever as they topped the AquaSox, 6-5, in front of 2,923 fans at Avista Stadium for College Alumni Night presented by Les Schwab Tires.
