The Spokane River Rats dealt the Idaho Falls Chukars a 9-8 loss at Foxes Ballpark. Luis M. Lopez was the star on offense. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Spokane reliever Don August was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Ralph Citarella took the loss. The first-place River Rats have won 9 straight games.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Lind.
