Spokane got on the board in the seventh when Andy Perez doubled and scored on a balk by Nico Tellache. The Indians added two runs in the ninth on Charlie Condon’s solo homer and Perez’s RBI single, scoring Cole Messina, who doubled.
Tellache (2-0) earned the win, allowing one run on one hit over five innings, striking out three. AquaSox starting pitcher Taylor Dollard, in his second outing since coming off the injured list, opened the game with three shutout innings. Omlid (6-2) took the loss, giving up six runs on four hits, including three homers, in two innings.
Perez led Spokane with three hits, including a double, and an RBI. Condon’s third homer of the season provided a highlight for the home crowd of 3,282.
With the win, the AquaSox are tied for first place in the Northwest League with Vancouver. With one game to go in the first half the AquaSox hold the tiebreaker with the Canadians. Accordingly, the AquaSox will win the first half and qualify for the postseason with either a win of their own in Spokane or a Vancouver loss in Eugene on Thursday.
