The Rainiers responded with three runs in the bottom of the fourth to make
it a one run game. A two-run Luken Baker homer in the top of the eighth padded the Comets lead, but the Rainiers answered in the bottom of the inning with two runs of their own. Paul Gervase was brought in to close the game in the ninth, but a walk, double, and sacrifice fly tied it. After the Comets failed to bring home the free runner at the top of the tenth, the Rainiers quickly closed the game out with a run-scoring double by Jacob Nottingham.
