Indians beat Emeralds, improve to 3-0

Zach Cone doesn’t figure to be around to witness how this Spokane Indians team pans out, but he likes what he’s seen in his short return to Avista Stadium. “This is a special group,” Cone said after his solo home run in the sixth inning Sunday afternoon helped the Indians improve to 3-0 this Northwest League season with a 5-2 win over the Eugene Emeralds. “Just hanging with them the last three days, you can tell they’re in it for the right reasons.”
