Tacoma skated by Portland, 6-3. Andrew Lorriane had one of his rare games where he was both effective and not extremely wild. Lorraine went six solid innings giving up two runs on five hits while walking only one and striking out five. Scott Spiezio spent the night trying to prove that he's a better option in Seattle than Greg Dobbs, and didn't disappoint. Speizio had three hits on the night including a double and a homerun. Abraham Nunez and Hunter Brown also had multi hit nights to lead the Rainier offense.
