Dust Devils Give Chalupa-Worthy Performance in 6-1 Victory

The Tri-City Dust Devils won their third straight game Friday night in convincing fashion, 6-1 over the Spokane Indians. Among the many highlights were the crowd of 3,031, Free Chalupa coupons from Taco Bell for the six-run effort, the Sportsman's Warehouse coupons for Darin Holcomb's first professional home run, the stellar performances by four Dust Devils pitchers, and the 15-hit offensive explosion by the Dust Devils' bats.

Tri-City starter Sheng-An Kuo (2-0) gave up just one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings pitched, while Matt Reynolds, David Arnold, and Devin Collis finished the game with 2 1/3 hitless innings.

Helder Velazquez led a group of six Dust Devils with multi-hit games with three singles, while Radames Nazario hit two doubles. Holcomb's 3-run home run in the seventh gave the Dust Devils a 5-1 lead, while Everth Cabrera's single in the eighth drove in the Chalupa-clinching run.

The series with Spokane continues Saturday night. Yakima, Spokane, and Tri-City are all tied atop the Northwest League East with 4-7 records. Fans are encouraged to get their tickets for the second Fireworks Night of the season early, as there are less than 500 tickets left for the game.
