TACOMA, Wash. - One run in the top of the ninth inning sunk the Tacoma Rainiers (64-67) in a 5-4 loss to the El Paso Chihuahuas (78-53) in the penultimate home game of the season at Cheney Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Left fielder Cameron Perkins (2x4, 2 R, HR, RBI) and right fielder Andrew Aplin (2x3, 2 R, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, BB) both collected multiple hits and one home run each to lead the Rainiers on offense. Designated hitter David Freitas (0x2, 2 BB) also reached base multiple times.
Tacoma starter Ross Detwiler turned in six innings of work on Sunday afternoon, allowing four runs on seven hits while issuing no walks and striking out one. He tossed 82 pitches (54 strikes), and did not factor into the decision.
