WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Jason Kipnis robbed Adam Dunn of a base hit.
 
In a thriller the Tacoma Rainiers staged a dramatic comeback over the Canyon
Diablo Critters winning by a score of 6 to 5 at SAFECO Field.
 
Tacoma scored the winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 4 runners on 5 hits.
The big moment was provided by Omar Infante who elicited a roar from the
hometown fans when he laced a one-base hit which was good for two runs.
Tacoma managed 10 hits in their victory.  
 
The win went to Duane Below(1-1) who allowed 1 run in 2 innings. Jonathan
Papelbon(0-1) suffered the loss in relief.  'We just wouldn't give up,'
Infante said. 'Much of the credit goes to our fans - they were with us the
whole way.'

Kyle Kendrick delivered 6 solid innings and left fielder Allen Craig hit a
grand slam as the Canyon Diablo Critters defeated the Tacoma Rainiers by the
score of 8 to 1 at SAFECO Field.
 
Canyon Diablo started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half
of the first when they came up with 2 runs on 2 hits.  That was all the
offense they were to need.  Canyon Diablo had 13 hits for the game and Tacoma
had 4.  
 
The winning pitcher was Kendrick(3-2) who allowed 1 run in 6 innings. Kendrick
got relief help from Glen Perkins who gained credit for his 2nd save.  Ross
Detwiler(3-4) was the losing pitcher.  He was touched for 10 hits and 2 walks
in 5 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'It felt really nice to get this win,' Kendrick said. 'I kind of dictated the
game. It's what I get paid to do. It worked out this time.'

Left fielder Andruw Jones homered as the Illinois Gamblers beat the Tacoma
Rainiers by a score of 10 to 5.
 
Illinois brought 3 runs across the plate in the top of the 2nd inning when
they came up with 5 base hits.  They would prove to be the difference in the
contest.  Illinois bats were very productive in the 2nd inning which saw them
plate 3 runs on 5 hits.  Illinois had 20 hits for the game and Tacoma had 9.
 
Chris Young(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 and 1/3 innings and
allowing 4 runs. Clayton Richard(1-4) took the loss.  His ERA ballooned from
3.31 to 3.67 as he allowed 6 runs in 5 innings.  
 

Rainiers Win, Gamblers Now 1-25.

Ian Kennedy came through with a solid 9 innings as the Tacoma Rainiers
defeated the Illinois Gamblers by a score of 8 to 1 at SAFECO
Field.
 
Illinois was unable to climb back into it after Tacoma went ahead for good in
the 4th inning scoring 2 runners on 3 hits.  The big moment was provided by
Ichiro Suzuki who brought a roar from the partisan SAFECO Field fans when he
hit a single bringing home two baserunners.  Tacoma rapped out 12 hits for
the night.  
 
The victory went to Kennedy(2-6) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Bruce
Chen(0-6) was charged with the loss.  He was touched for 7 hits and 2 walks
in 4 innings.

Right fielder Jeff Francoeur hit one over the fence and had 2 RBI at SAFECO
Field as the Indian River Redfish beat the reeling Tacoma Rainiers in 10
innings by the count of 4 to 3.
 
Both teams were tied at 2 runs apiece after nine innings.  Indian River came
out the victor in the 10th inning.  After two were out David Freese
jump-started the rally as he drew a walk.  Francoeur stepped into the
batter's box and he smashed a two-run homer.  George Kottaras was next to
bat, but he was a strikeout victim.  Indian River finished with 10 hits while
Tacoma ended up with 6.  
 
The victory went to Chris Resop(1-0) who went 1/3 of an inning, allowing no
runs. Matt Belisle recorded his 2nd save.  Steve Delabar(1-4) was the loser
in relief.  His ERA increased from 5.51 to 6.23 as he allowed 2 runs in 1
inning.  
 

Rainiers Continue Losing Ways.

Matt Kemp had 4 hits as the Williamstown Purple Cows defeated the Tacoma
Rainiers by a score of 3 to 1 at SAFECO Field.
 
Williamstown came up with 2 runs in the top of the 2nd inning when they had 3
base hits.  That was all Kyle Lohse(2-3) needed.  Williamstown finished with
10 hits while Tacoma ended up with 5.  
 
Kenley Jansen got the save, his 4th.  Clayton Kershaw(1-4) absorbed the loss.
For Williamstown the victory was a welcome one, indeed.  They had been
struggling in their last ten games with a disappointing 2-8 record.  Michael
Swanson was unhappy with his club's recent performance.  'We can't keep
losing games' he said.  'It gets to be embarrassing after a while.'

WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Jay Bruce robbed Michael Saunders of a Homerun!
 
James Shields pitched a 3 hit shutout and catcher Alex Avila blasted a homerun
and had 2 RBI at SAFECO Field as the Williamstown Purple Cows beat the Tacoma
Rainiers by the count of 7 to 0.
 
Shields(5-1) was virtually untouchable.  He didn't allow much, just 3 hits and
1 walk in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 3.00 to 2.44.  Williamstown rapped
out 8 hits for the night.  
 
Brandon McCarthy(0-2) was the loser.  He gave up just 2 runs and 3 hits in 6
innings.  When questioned about his counterpart after the game, McCarthy was
lavish in his praise, 'It was obvious very early on that we were going to be
in for a long night.  Shields brought his 'A' game with him - he had good
stuff and was able to spot it perfectly.  He probably only made one or two
bad pitches the entire game!

WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Michael Saunders robbed Dioner Navarro of a Homerun!
 
Josh Willingham blasted 2 homeruns as the Franklin Kites defeated the Tacoma
Rainiers in 11 innings by a score of 6 to 5 at SAFECO Field.
 
The score was tied at 5 after nine.  Finally, Franklin prevailed in the 11th
inning.  Willingham hit a bases-empty home run.  Will Middlebrooks followed
and he stroked a base-hit, and an error was also committed.  Luis Ayala then
fired a sharp breaking ball that appeared to cross-up the catcher.  In any
event, it got by him and was ruled a passed ball.  Two outs later Wilson
Betemit came to the plate and drew a walk.  Franklin finished with 11 hits
while Tacoma ended up with 7.  
 
The victory was credited to Tony Watson(3-1) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. Jonathan Broxton got the save, his 1st.  Duane Below(0-1) ended up with
the loss in relief.  He allowed 3 homeruns in 5 innings of work.

Marwin Gonzalez collected 4 RBI with one swing of the bat as the Franklin
Kites defeated the Tacoma Rainiers by the score of 9 to 5 at SAFECO
Field.
 
Gonzalez had a good evening at the plate.  He tripled which scored a run in
the 6th inning and emptied the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 7th
inning.  Franklin out-hit Tacoma for the game, 11 hits to 8.  
 
The winning pitcher was Pedro Strop(1-1) who allowed no runs in 3 innings. Ian
Kennedy(1-5) was hit with the loss.  He was knocked around, surrendering 7
runs in 6 and 1/3 innings.  
 
The win by Franklin is a very welcome one as they have been struggling in
recent days.  Their record now stands at a division leading 18-7 - only 1-9
in their last ten games.  Michael Swanson was pretty down after the loss.
'We've really been sputtering along lately, something like 0-10 in the last
week or two.  That won't get it done.'
