Some baseball games are won by a steady number of runs scored throughout game. That wasn’t the case on Thursday night, when the Salt Lake Bees used two big innings to beat the Tacoma Rainiers 11-9 at Smith’s Ballpark.
Seven runs in the second inning and four runs in the seventh gave the Bees a big enough boost to overcome a three-run rally by Tacoma in the fifth, that put the Rainiers up by two.
Starting pitcher Drew Gagnon allowed three hits, three runs and walked three in three innings of work. Reliever Adam Hofacket gave up four hits and three runs in just 1 2/3 innings.
