Indians beat Canadians on error in 10th inning

Center fielder Chris Garia hit two solo homers to right field Sunday afternoon, leading off the bottom of the first inning and with two out in the second, to power the Indians past Boise 8-6 at Avista Stadium.

Sport this Gretzky plays is with a ball

The answer to the first question people always ask Trevor Gretzky is, “Because the closest rink was about an hour away from our house.” But instead of asking Gretzky why he plays baseball instead of hockey, the sport of his famous father, Wayne, it makes as much sense to ask why he’s not playing football.

He hit .304 in 35 games last summer in the Arizona Rookie League. He and his famous family are in town this week, as his Boise Hawks prepare for a five-game series against the Spokane Indians.
