Jefry Marte led off the ninth with a single and advanced to third on a double by Cesar Puello. Rey Navarro walked to load the bases and Ramon Flores lifted a fly to center to bring home Marte with the tying run and advance Puello to third base and Navarro to second.

After Nolan Fontana was intentionally walked to reload the bases, Carlos Perez hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score Puello with the go ahead run.

Salt Lake did not record its first hit of the game until Puello drilled his first homer in a Bees uniform and his seventh overall of the season with one out in the seventh. Tacoma scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to take the lead, but the Bees got one of those runs back in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Shane Robinson.

Justin Miller (5-1) tossed a scoreless eighth to pick up the win.
