SPOKANE, Wash. - Cam Schiller lined a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning, as the Spokane Indians rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Boise Hawks, before 6,913 fans at Avista Stadium.
Trailing 5-3 in the eight, Joe Maloney led off the inning with his fourth homer of the season, followed by a Smerling Lantigua single. After a sacrifice bunt, Gabriel Roa singled to put runners on the corners - with Schiller finding the right-centerfield gap with the game-winner.
