TACOMA, WA - The Tacoma Rainiers (62-48) scored three runs in the ninth to come back and beat the Reno Aces (54-55) by a score of 10-8, Wednesday at Greater Nevada Field.

Reno took an early 1-0 lead in the first, but the Rainiers answered with three runs in the second on a single from Michael Papierski and a sacrifice fly from Logan Warmoth. The Aces answered with a solo home run from Tristin English in their half of the second to make it 3-2.

Papierski and Warmoth struck again in the fourth, each knocking RBI singles to grow Tacoma's lead to three, at 5-2. As they did in the second, Reno answered, this time with a four-spot to take the lead.

The Aces got a two-run home run from Bryson Brigman followed by a two-run double from Blaze Alexander to make it 6-5. The teams continued to trade blows, as they each got two run home runs in the sixth.

Jake Slaughter gave Tacoma a 7-6 lead in the top half of the inning, but Kyle Garlick immediately answered with his own two-run shot, giving the Aces back their one-run advantage.

Down to their final three outs, Major League rehabber Dominic Canzone clubbed a three-run home run to give the Rainiers a 10-8 lead. Joey Krehbiel spun a scoreless ninth inning to complete the comeback, giving Tacoma their fourth straight win.
