SPOKANE, Wash. - In front of a record setting crowd at Avista Stadium, the Spokane Indians pulled out another thrilling, late-inning victory. Jonah McReynolds hit a two-run double in the bottom of the seventh to lead Spokane to a 4-2 victory and a sweep of the Everett AquaSox on Season Finale Fireworks presented by AAA, KREM 2, 98.9 KKZX, and 590 KQNT.

TOP PERFORMERS

  • A night after reaching base four times, Jonah McReynolds was the hero for the Indians. After his two-run double, McReynolds finished 4-for-9 in the series with that double, a homer and three RBI.
  • Alexander Ovalles put together a 2-for-3 night that includes two runs and his second home run of the season.
  • After two rough outings with the Indians, Spencer Mraz bounced back with 2.2 no-hit innings and three strikeouts out of the bullpen.

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Tonight's attendance total of 6,859 set a new single-season record at Avista Stadium with a total of 200,273 fans for the season! It marks the first time in the 37 years of playing short-season that the Indians have cracked 200,000.
  • This entire series was full of missed opportunities for the AquaSox. Friday night, they went 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position and left a whopping 16 men on base.
  • Spokane is now 16-6 since the All-Star break. They have not lost a series, going 6-0-1 with two sweeps. They still have not lost consecutive games since August 1-2.

KEY MOMENT
Spokane pitching allowed 18 base runners on the night, but always seemed to make clutch pitches when they needed to. Everett had runners in scoring position with less than two outs in five of the first six innings. Joshua Javier, Juan Castillo, and Mraz were able to limit the damage to just two runs. After McReynolds gave Spokane the lead, Dylan Bice pitched two scoreless innings to pick up his first save.

Spokane will take on the Dust Devils on one side of the bracket and Hillsboro will take on Salem-Keizer on the other side. Those two best-of-three series begin on Wednesday following the final three games of the regular season and a league off day.
