Reno Aces News Release


RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (33-35) launched a season-high five home runs to outlast the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (36-31), the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, in a back-and-forth slugfest Saturday night at Greater Nevada Field. With the win, the BLC-Nine took a 3-2 series lead.

Reno jumped ahead early on a two-run blast from Trey Mancini in the first, his 11th long ball of the season. But the lead didn't last. The Aces surrendered seven runs in the top of the second, only to storm back with five of their own in the bottom half to tie it at 7-7. Connor Kaiser sparked the rally with his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot.

The game continued to see-saw. Down by two in the fourth, the Aces again turned to the long ball. Adrian Del Castillo tied it at 9-9 with a two-run homer-his second of the series-and Blaze Alexander followed with a two-run blast of his own, giving Reno a temporary lead. Alexander stayed red-hot at the plate, going 3-for-5 with three RBI. The 26-year-old is hitting .444 (8-for-18) with four home runs and 13 RBI through four games this series.

After Sugar Land briefly regained the lead in the sixth, Jordan Lawlar delivered the decisive blow in the seventh, launching his ninth homer of the year to put Reno ahead for good. The top prospect has impressed throughout the series, going 7-for-23 (.304) with four extra-base hits and four RBI in five games.

Andrew Saalfrank came on in the ninth to protect a two-run lead and nailed down a perfect 1-2-3 frame for his second save of the season.

The Aces will look to close out the series in Sunday's finale, with first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m.

Jordan Lawlar: 1-for-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB
