Karros Delivers Walk-off in 5-4 Win Over Hops
July 31, 2024 - Northwest League (NWL)
Spokane Indians News Release
Kyle Karros was not having a good night. Spokane's third baseman was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts when he stepped the plate in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded. It took just one swing to turn his disappointing game into another memorable win for the seemingly unstoppable Indians. Karros drilled a hanging fastball from Hillsboro's Alfred Morillo into the gap as EJ Andrews and Cole Carrigg raced home for the winning runs in Spokane's 5-4 walk-off victory over Hillsboro in front of 4,006 fans at Avista Stadium for SCRAPS Bark in the Park Night.
