Victoria committed six crucial errrors.
Dick Mitchell gave up six unearned runs in the first six innings, including a 5-5 tiebreaker in the sixth on Leo Righetti's two-out error.
Errors by Vic Mastro, Babe Jensen and Mike Hafenecker played a large part in the Spokane uprising in the seventh and Jack Harshman's bobble accounted for the final tally in the ninth.
