Hunter Brown's two-run homer in the 10th inning enabled Tacoma to walk off with a 5-3 victory against visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday at Cheney Stadium.
One out after Greg Dobbs hit a leadoff single, Brown hammered his sixth homer off reliever Pat Mahomes (8-9).
The blast made a winner of reliever Jeff Heaverlo (6-3), who yielded a hit and a walk while fanning three over three scoreless innings.
Run-scoring singles by Mike Rose, Henri Stanley and Willie Aybar off starter Chris Buglovsky gave the 51s a 3-0 lead by the fifth.
Dobbs and Justin Leone stroked RBI singles in the fifth to spark the Rainiers' comeback before Bucky Jacobsen's run-scoring groundout in the seventh forged a 3-3 deadlock.
Dobbs collected three hits, while Jose Lopez went 4-for-4 to lead the Rainiers' 13-hit attack. Tacoma has won four in a row.
