Tacoma, WA - Ian Miller and Kristopher Negrón provided RBI singles in the top of the 10th inning at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium on Wednesday night, completing a 4-2 come-from-behind victory over the San Antonio Missions for their first extra innings win of the campaign.
With Tim Lopes at second base as the automatic runner to start the extra inning, Miller lined the go-ahead hit to center field, scoring Lopes for his second run of the game. Three batters later, Negron drove home Ian Miller for his second RBI with an infield knock, giving the Rainiers a two-run advantage.
Parker Markel retired the side in order in the bottom of the 10th, earning his fourth save and stranding the automatic runner at third base.

The Rainiers (32-34) were held hitless until the fifth inning when Negron led off the inning with his eighth home run against Missions (40-26) starter Zack Brown, cutting the San Antonio lead in half, 2-1.
Tacoma evened the score in the sixth when Brown threw a bases-loaded wild pitch, allowing Lopes to score. Lopes crossed on a wild pitch to give the Rainiers an eighth inning lead in Monday's victory over Nashville.

Matt Festa (1-1), who pitched his first game since being optioned from Seattle, earned his first win of the season with Tacoma for going two perfect innings with three strikeouts.
Entering Wednesday, the Rainiers were 0-2 in extra-inning contests, taking both losses in the first five games of the season.
