VICTORIA, June 25—The Spokane Indians took advantage of Victoria injuries to pull off a 5-2 win over the Athletics and win their series at Royal Athletic Park, two games to one.
Spokane scored three in the seventh, starting the rally when Russ Walseth, playing short with a bad knee as Bob Keeler has jumped the club, couldn't do much with Jack Calvey's grounder except knock it down. George Valine followed with a home run. Paul Zaby was hit Frank Logue, stole second and scored on a single by John Parks for the third run.
Tuck Stainback singled in a run in the second and Parks brought in another in the sixth.
Walseth finally was removed from the gain which meant a catcher was in field, and outfielder at third and a third baseman at short.
Charlie Balassi replied with a two-run single in the seventh.
