Aug. 24—It's crunch time for the Spokane Indians.
Just 12 games remain in the regular season, and if they are going to play meaningful games the last week of the season — at least relative to the standings — they are going to have to make some headway this week.
To do so, they are going to have to get some better pitching. The Indians (25-28) dropped four of six to last-place Hillsboro last week, giving up 54 runs and a whopping 73 hits with 31 walks in 54 innings in the process.
Losing the series to Hillsboro didn't eliminate the Indians from postseason contention — but it won't be an easy challenge.
Entering play Tuesday, they sit five games behind first-place Eugene (30-23), but if the first-half champion Emeralds win the second half, the Indians can qualify for the playoff series by finishing second.
