VANCOUVER, B.C. – The Spokane Indians took the season series over the Vancouver Canadians with 20 wins against eight losses. The domination – as far as wins and losses go – continued in the postseason, at least for the first game.
The Spokane Indians held the top spot in the Northwest League standings just about all season. They won the first half title by 3 1/2 games (over Hillsboro) and the second half by three games over Vancouver. Overall, their 79-51 season record was best in the league by 10 1/2 games.
