Spokane Indians News Release
The Indians had no runs and no hits through 7 1/3 innings as they struggled to generate any offense against Tri-City's pitching staff. GJ Hill changed all that with one swing of the bat. The switch-hitter smashed a fastball from southpaw Nick Mondak over the wall in left field as Spokane stunned the Dust Devils, 1-0, in front of 6,196 fans at Avista Stadium for Season Finale Fireworks presented by AAA Washington, KREM 2, & 93.7 The Mountain.
