TACOMA, Wash. - The Tacoma Rainiers (63-66) rode an early offensive wave and held on for a 9-6 victory over the El Paso Chihuahuas (64-65) on Monday night at Cheney Stadium.
The Rainiers erupted for nine runs on nine hits over the first two innings, including a seven-run bottom of the second, to establish an early 9-2 lead. Tacoma would go on to log just one hit over the remainder of the night, but their seven-run cushion was more than enough to hold up for a win.

Following a two-run top of the first from El Paso, Tacoma responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame on a two-run double from Muno to tie the game at 2-2.
The Rainiers seven run outburst in the bottom of the second inning started with a two-run double to left center from Ian Miller, and concluded seven batters later on an RBI single from Gosewisch that propelled Tacoma out in front, 9-2.
The Chihuahuas slowly chipped into the Rainiers lead over the remainder of the night, scoring once in the fifth and sixth innings and plating a pair in the top of the ninth before ultimately falling, 9-6.
