Both starters made it to the fifth in an early pitcher’s duel. Casey Lawrence spun 5.2 innings of one-run baseball, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out five.
The Rainiers took the lead in the sixth inning thanks to three Round Rock errors. Tyler Locklear hit a ball that went off of Kellen Strahm’s glove at the left field wall, plating Ben Williamson, Spencer Packard then brought in a run on a fielder’s choice and an errant throw to home plate, giving the Rainiers two unearned runs and a 3-1 lead.
The Rainiers bullpen continued with strong pitching, as Casey Legumina (W, 1-0), Adonis Medina, and Cody Bolton (S, 1) combined for 3.1 scoreless innings and secured the 3-1 victory.
