Published on May 8, 2026 under Northwest League (NWL)
Spokane Indians News Release
After being no-hit for the game's first six innings by Dust Devils starter Nate Snead, the Indians surprisingly found themselves with a chance to win in the ninth. They came up just short. Trailing by a single run, Spokane put runners at first and third, but a rocket off the bat of Max Belyeu was snared by Tri-City right fielder Randy De Jesus as the Indians fell to the Dust Devils, 2-1.
