05 August 2015

Walkoff RBI single in the 10th wins it for the Northwest League

The Northwest League All Stars defeated the Pioneer Baseball League All Stars 6-5 last night in Spokane. Tri-City’s Peter Van Gansen hit a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the tenth for the win in the first ever meeting between the two leagues.

Tonight is another ‘off-night’ in the Northwest League… the Eugene Emeralds and Salem-Keizer Volcanoes will be back in action tomorrow at PK Park.
