Indians Rally for Thrilling 3-2 Win Over Canadians
September 14, 2024 - Northwest League (NWL)
Spokane Indians News Release
The Spokane Indians fell into an early 2-0 hole against the Canadians and looked in serious trouble after failing to record a hit through the games first four innings. The Northwest League's first and second half champions weren't about to go down without a fight though. The Indians got one back in the fifth on an RBI single from Andy Perez and two more the next inning to take the lead over a feisty Vancouver squad. Spokane's bullpen took it from there, closing out the game with four scoreless frames as the Indians hung on for a 3-2 win over the C's at Patterson Baseball Complex in Game 3 of the Northwest League Championship Series. The Indians have a chance to clinch their first NWL title since 2008 tomorrow in Game 4 with first pitch against Vancouver at 6:35 p.m.
