Tacoma Slaps 6-5 Loss on Omaha
The Tacoma Rainiers handed the Omaha Storm Chasers a loss at Werner Park. The final score was 6-5. Austin Ward was one of the major contributors for Tacoma. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Marty Oliver, the winning pitcher, is now 3-4. He went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 1. Their 19-25 record puts the Rainiers third in the Pacific Conference North Division.

Grant Geiger was 1-3 for Tacoma. The 23-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the sixth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Joel Horton. It was his 16th RBI of the season.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Ward told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."
