TOP PERFORMERS
Andy Perez got the party started with a two-run shot in the first—his team-leading third of the season—before things really heated up in the fifth. After an RBI single from Aidan Longwell brought the Indians within two runs of the Emeralds, Jesus Ordonez sent Avista Stadium into a frenzy with a grand slam down the line in left field. Jean Perez followed with towering shot over the wall in center—Spokane's second set of back-to-back home runs this season—to cap off the six-run frame. Jared Thomas provided the final margin with a two-run moonshot in the eighth—a majestic blast that cleared the Pepsi Porch and landed in the parking to the south of Avista Stadium.
Albert Pacheco battled through five innings to pick up his second win while Stu Flesland and Alan Perdomo combined for four scoreless frames out of the Spokane bullpen.
