Omaha fought back to tie Tacoma, only to lose 4-3. Louis Coleman took the loss, as he allowed two singles and a sac fly in the top of the ninth.
With the Rainiers clinging to a 3-2 lead and veteran Kevin Gregg on the mound, Matt Fields singled to start the seventh (one of his two hits). After Whit Merrifield could not come through on the hit-and-run (Fields was thrown out trying to steal second base), he walked.
