Reno Aces News Release


Reno, Nevada - The Aces welcomed the Nashville Sounds to Greater Nevada Field Tuesday night for the first time since 2017. It was a slugfest to start tonight's contest with each team scoring in each of the first three innings. A three-run fifth inning that saw RBI hits by Domingo Leyba, Yasmany Tomas, and Matt Szczur gave Reno a one-run advantage but saw the lead vanish quickly. Nashville rallied to score a run in the seventh, two in the eighth and two in the ninth to increase their lead to four. That's when the magic of the Biggest Little City took over. Abraham Almonte hit a solo homer. Yasmany Tomas hit a two-run bomb. Wyatt Mathisen hit a solo jack to tie the game at 11. The reigning Pacific Coast League Player of the Week, Matt Szczur, hit a walk-off solo homer to win it. This is the Aces fourth last-AB win of the year, second via the home run. Reno will take on Nashville two more times this week before welcoming the Memphis Redbirds to the Biggest Little City on Friday.
