Four runs came in for Tacoma in the top of the second inning. Dominic Canzone notched his first multi-hit game with a leadoff single before a single from Samad Taylor and a sacrifice batter from Rhylan Thomas loaded the bases. Jack Lopez scored Canzone with a single to tie it before a bases-loaded walk brought in Rivas to regain the lead. Ford hit a sacrifice fly to left to drive in Thomas and make it 4-2. Cole Young reached on an error to the third baseman to bring in Lopez and Tacoma led by three.
The Aces inched closer in the bottom of the fifth with a solo homer from Kevin Graham along with an RBI double from Barrosa to put them within two.
