Indians schedule DH to make up for rainout

The East Division pennant race was temporarily interrupted Friday night when heavy rain postponed the Spokane Indians’ Northwest League baseball game against Tri-City at Avista Stadium.

The game will be made up 6:35 tonight as part of a doubleheader. The Indians and Dust Devils will play a pair of seven-inning games to complete a series that began Thursday with T-C’s 5-4 win.

Those with tickets for Friday’s rained-out game can redeem them for another contest, except for tonight’s sold-out doubleheader.

Friday was also supposed to have been a $1 Family Feast Night at Avista. That promotion was rescheduled for Sept. 3. The Indians also have a Family Feast Night set for Aug. 20.

Tonight’s scheduled fireworks show will go on, but it will be presented between games rather than afterward.

The first-place Dust Devils (27-19) lead Spokane (24-22) by three games with 30 remaining in the season. T-C is 3-1 against the Indians this season, having won each game by one run.
