ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Kristopher Negron hit a two-run double and Tacoma benefitted from Albuquerque mistakes to score five runs in the ninth inning Monday en route to an 8-6 victory over the host Isotopes.
Trailing by three runs going into the ninth of the Pacific Coast League game, the Rainiers (7-12) loaded the bases when Negron got the rally rolling. After that, a throwing error allowed another Tacoma run to score, and then runs followed on a wild pitch and a passed ball.
Tacoma scored its eight runs on just six hits, but eight walks issued by Albuquerque (11-8) pitchers certainly helped.
