Dust Devils release 2010 NWL schedule

By the Herald staff

PASCO -- The Tri-City Dust Devils, winners of the Northwest League's East Division twice in the past three seasons, will open their 2010 slate on June 18, starting on the road with a three-game series against the Spokane Indians at Avista Stadium.

The Dust Devils will then return to Gesa Stadium for their home opener on June 21 to begin a five-game series against the Eugene Emeralds.

In 2009, Tri-City snapped the Colorado Rockies' short-season record with 47 victories and broke its own attendance record for the fourth straight season with 84,198 fans -- a 65 percent increase since 2004.
