Reno, Nev. -- Reno's two-run eighth proved to be the difference in the ballgame, as Tacoma lost a heartbreaker by the score of 4-3 on Thursday at Greater Nevada Field.

The Rainiers didn't score until the fourth inning when they were trailing, 1-0, and took the lead on Ryan Court's two-run homer.

The Aces then evened up the game at two before the Rainiers re-took the lead in the seventh inning. Tacoma picked up the go-ahead run on Jaycob Brugman's leadoff home run off Taylor Widener.
The Rainiers surrendered that lead as the Aces scored two runs over the remaining two innings to pick up the victory.
