SPOKANE, July 22—Ken Kimball scattered six Victoria hits, including a two-run double by Dick Morgan and a triple by Al Drew to gain credit for his 11th win of the year in Spokane's 6-5 victory at Ferris Field.
The Indians struck for a run in the second, but fell behind 3-1 until the fifth when the roof caved in on Victoria starter Frank Prowse. Spokane came up with a five-run rally, capped by Paul Zaby's two-run double, before a man was out to drive Prowse to the showers. Frank Logue blanked the Indians the rest of the way, but all his teammates could manage was a pair of runs in the eighth.
