A game that featured 10 extra-base hits was ultimately decided by a ball that traveled less than 30 feet.

The Indians improved to 25-17 with the win and currently maintain a 2.0 game lead over Eugene for the Northwest League's top spot.

Carson Skipper (3-0) continued his stingy ways out of the bullpen, picking up his third win of the season with two scoreless innings of relief. The Auburn alum now sports an 0.45 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 18 appearances spanning 20 innings this year.
