The Round Rock Express defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 7-4 in a dramatic walk-off win on June 29, 2025, concluding a six-game series with four victories. Dustin Harris was instrumental for Round Rock, hitting two home runs, including a game-winning shot in the ninth inning. After taking an early lead, Tacoma managed to go ahead 4-2, but Round Rock responded to tie the game twice. Jesse Hahn, who suffered the loss, allowed three runs in the ninth, marking the end of his 15-game streak without an earned run. Tacoma’s impressive 58-game extra-base hit streak also ended, having produced only five singles in the game.
