September 27, 2022 - Pacific Coast League (PCL)
Tacoma Rainiers News Release
Reno, NV - The Tacoma Rainiers (72-77) dropped the penultimate game of their season by a 7-2 score on Tuesday night to the Reno Aces (83-63). Despite the defeat, the Rainiers are still 34-26 after the All-Star Break, and 44-33 during the season's second half. The 2022 campaign will come to a close on Wednesday afternoon as Tacoma looks to avoid a three-game sweep.
Leandro Cedeno's second Triple-A homer (to CF) made it 2-0 Reno in the fourth inning (Dominic Fletcher single). A three-run Aces fifth made it 5-0. Fletcher drove in two runs with a double, and scored on a Cedeno single.
Reno RHP Deyni Olivero scattered five hits and three walks over five full innings. He struck out three without allowing a run. Rainiers RHP Konner Wade matched with five innings of his own: 8 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 6 K.
Drew Stankiewicz ripped a two-out, two-run triple to the centerfield wall in the sixth, extending the Aces lead to 7-0.
Tacoma broke up the shutout in the seventh, beginning with catcher Jake Anchia's first Triple-A hit, a double to left field, in his first Triple-A at-bat. Forrest Wall was hit by a pitch, and both runners scored on a two-out Cade Marlowe triple to left, the final scoring play of the evening.
Relievers Riley O'Brien and Kyle Bird each worked a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout for the Rainiers.
The season finale is scheduled for a 12:05 p.m. PT first pitch on Wednesday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field. Left-hander Justus Sheffield is Tacoma's probable starting pitcher.
