Tacoma edged Sacramento, 8-7. Apparently Cha Seung Baek left this one early with pain as he lasted only 1 inning. Losing Baek could be a devestating blow to the Rainiers as he's been their best pitcher this season. As for the offense, well, take your pick at who you want to praise. Only catcher Bryce Terveen went hitless and Chris Snelling smashed three hits en route to the win.
