The Eugene Emeralds re-took the lead in the West Division of the Northwest League with three straight wins… 1-nothing, 5-1, and 1-nothing… over the Spokane Indians over the weekend. The Ems capitalized on a four game Everett Aqua-Sox losing streak to retake the advantage as they enter the final five game series of the year… this against the Bears in Yakima. Divisional playoffs begin September 5th; the Emeralds have already clinched a spot.
