SPOKANE, Aug. 24—The Spokane Indians moved into second place in the Western International League and downed the visiting Yakima Packers twice, 9-8 and 3-0.
Joe Rossi sparked the Spokane victory in the first game, hitting a three-run double as a pinch-hitter in a fifth-inning rally and then stealing home with a fourth run. The six-run outburst brought the Indians from behind. Two runs in the next inning eventually proved to be the winning margin as a Yakima rally was cut short in the seventh.
The second game went to the Indians, 3-0, with Bill Werbowski outlasting Hub Kittle in a game shortened by the time limit.
