It was a pitcher’s duel early, as Rainiers starter Blas Castaño limited the Aces to one run through the first six frames. Kristian Robinson put the BLC-Nine on the board with his fourth home run of the campaign, a 349-foot solo shot over the left-field porch in the top of the fourth. Robinson has found a groove at the plate, riding a five-game hitting streak where he has hit .455 (10-for-22) with eight extra-base hits, including three home runs, and nine RBI.

After the Rainiers tied the game with a run in the bottom of the seventh, the Aces quickly answered in the eighth. Tristin English came through with the bases loaded, ripping an RBI single into centerfield. The Georgia Tech product finished the night with three knocks and has now gone 7-for-14 (.500) with a home run and two RBI in the first three matchups of the series.

Unfortunately, Tacoma rallied in the bottom of the eighth, plating eight runs to secure the win.

The Aces will look to bounce back in Friday’s matchup against Tacoma, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. PST.

• Spencer Giesting: 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K
