In a low-scoring tilt between the Spokane River Rats and the Portland Stag, Rick Helling was the difference-maker. The Spokane right-hander earned player of the game honors in the 3-1 win. Spokane is now 57-33, 6 games up in the Pacific West.

With no one out in the bottom of the eighth, Gene Kingsale lit into a fastball from Carlos Castillo for a solo home run. That made the score 2-1 in favor of the River Rats. For the day, Kingsale went 1-3 with a home run and a walk.

Kingsale said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
