RENO, Nev.- Chris Rahl tied a season high with four hits, as Reno completed a series sweep over the Nashville Sounds with a 7-4 victory Saturday night in front of 7,297 fans at Aces Ballpark.

Reno jumped ahead early, taking a 5-0 lead after four innings, and held on to complete its first series sweep of the 2010 season. A two-run single by Rahl capped a four-run fourth inning for the Aces, who gave starter Zack Kroenke (4-3) all the run support he would need. Reno would tack on insurance runs in the fifth and sixth, and the bullpen would limit Nashville to just one run over the final four innings to preserve the victory.

Kroenke earned the win, tossing five innings of three-run ball. Jason Urquidez and Leyson Septimo recorded holds before Carlos Rosa shut the door in the ninth for his sixth save of the year.

Sam Narron (7-5) was tagged with the loss after the Aces roughed him up for five earned runs in four innings.

In addition to Rahl's four-hit night, Cole Gillespie added three hits and an RBI. Brandon Allen reached base four times for Reno, going 1-for-1 with a double and three walks.

Reno plays host to Memphis for a four-game set beginning Sunday evening. The series-opener will feature Aces RHP Josh Collmenter (3-3, 6.31 ERA) against Memphis RHP Brandon Dickson (9-7, 3.06 ERA). First pitch is set for 5:05 p.m. PT. For Sunday's opener, 1,500 fans 12 and under will receive a Reno Aces youth chest protector backpack presented by Dillard's.

Tickets for all Aces games start at just $7, and are available by calling the Reno Aces box office at (775) 334-7000 or by visiting RenoAces.com. The brand-new Freight House District, located just outside Aces Ballpark, is open seven days a week, on both game days and non-game days.
