Indians Win Back-And-Forth Affair over Canadians
May 8, 2025 - Northwest League (NWL)
Spokane Indians News Release
In a game with five lead changes, 16 runs, and 23 hits, it was an assuming balk that proved the difference in Spokane's 9-7 win over the Canadians in front of xxxx fans at Avista Stadium for Smokey Bear Night. After drawing a one-out walk in the eighth inning, Tevin Tucker advanced to second on a stolen base before a pair of balks from Vancouver reliever Chay Yeager allowed Spokane's second basemen to score the go-ahead run as the Indians (15-14) rallied for their third straight win.

Jared Thomas continues to cause chaos atop Spokane's lineup. The former Texas Longhorn stole two bases, scored three runs, and reached base four times to boost his average to .330-the third-best mark in the Northwest League.
