TACOMA, WA - The Tacoma Rainiers (2-0) capitalized on three Round Rock (0-2) errors in the sixth inning to score a 3-1 victory over the Express on Saturday night at Cheney Stadium in front of a crowd of 3,843.

Round Rock opened the scoring in the top of the third when Kellen Strahm came in to score on a sacrifice fly from Cody Freeman to give the Express a 1-0 lead. The lead was short-lived as Spencer Packard countered for the Rainiers in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI single up the middle to knot the game at 1-1.

Both starters made it to the fifth in an early pitcher's duel. Casey Lawrence spun 5.2 innings of one-run baseball, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out five.

The Rainiers took the lead in the sixth inning thanks to three Round Rock errors. Tyler Locklear hit a ball that went off of Kellen Strahm's glove at the left field wall, plating Ben Williamson, Spencer Packard then brought in a run on a fielder's choice and an errant throw to home plate, giving the Rainiers two unearned runs and a 3-1 lead.
