Casey Lawrence kept the shutout going through his five innings, working around seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts to earn his team-leading 11th win of the season. In the bottom of the sixth, the Rainiers set the PCL modern era stolen base record, as Logan Warmoth stole the team's 282nd base of the season.

He later scored on a sacrifice fly from Kobe Kato, growing their lead to six. An RBI single from Jake Slaughter and a double from Michael Papierski grew Tacoma's lead to eight.

It stayed there, as the Rainiers got four scoreless innings of relief from their bullpen to complete their ninth shutout of the season.
