Match Report
Raith Rovers moved to within two points of Ayr United after the Scottish League One leaders lost to bottom side Forfar Athletic.
Forfar came from two goals down to beat hosts Ayr 3-2 while Raith were 3-0 winners at home to Stranraer.
At Somerset Park, Michael Moffat gave Ayr the lead in first-half stoppage time and Lawrence Shankland tucked away the second from Declan McDaid's cross.
But Forfar replied when Jordan Hornby curled a free-kick into the top corner before Aitken's double stole the points.
