Kim's slam lifts Hawks past Indians

BOISE - Dong-Yub Kim hit a grand slam with two out in the fifth inning as the Boise Hawks beat the Spokane Indians 12-2, snapping Spokane's four-game Northwest League baseball winning streak Thursday night in front of 2,094 at Memorial Stadium.

Boise (5-9) opened the scoring in the first inning as Marco Hernandez singled and later scored on a passed ball. Chadd Krist doubled and scored on a single by Wilson Contreras to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead.

Saquan Johnson reached on an error and scored on a sacrifice fly for Spokane (5-9) in the fourth.

Contreras went 4 for 5 with three RBIs for Boise, which was swept in a three-game series at Spokane earlier this week. Connor Sadzeck allowed three runs in 3 1/3 innings to take the loss for Spokane.

The teams continue their three-game series tonight at 6:15.
