Indians Squeeze Sox in Extras for Thrilling 8-7 Win
Published on May 28, 2024 under Northwest League (NWL)
Spokane Indians News Release
A game that featured 10 extra-base hits was ultimately decided by a ball that traveled less than 30 feet. Indians second baseman Jean Perez delivered a perfect suicide squeeze as Jose Cordova scampered home from third for the winning run in Spokane's 8-7 extra-inning triumph over the AquaSox. The Indians improved to 25-17 with the win and currently maintain a 2.0 game lead over Eugene for the Northwest League's top spot.

Carson Skipper (3-0) continued his stingy ways out of the bullpen, picking up his third win of the season with two scoreless innings of relief. The Auburn alum now sports an 0.45 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 18 appearances spanning 20 innings this year.
