TACOMA, Aug. 13—The rampant Tacoma Tigers extended their longest winning streak of the current Western International league season to nine in a row by sweeping a double-header with the Spokane Indians here, 5-4 and 6-5.
Dick Greco was the star of the seven-inning finale, nipping Spokane runners at the plate with perfect tosses from right field and driving home Sol Israel with the winning run. Bob Kerrigan was credited with his 19th win against six defeats off a one-inning stint in the finales.

YAKIMA, Aug. 13—Wenatchee unleashed three 11th inning doubles coupled with as many walks Sunday night to defeat Yakima 10-7 in a scheduled seven-inning Western International League opener.
Wenatchee combined doubles by Jerry Ballard, Jay Ragni and Don Fracchia and three walks to push over five runs for the victory.
