Reno Aces News Release

Reno, NV - A five-hit, six-run second frame was just the start for the Reno Aces (11-11) in a 13-4 victory over the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (8-14) Wednesday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field.

Dominic Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and an RBI single. Phillip Evans reached in all four plate appearances while driving in two runs on a single and a double. Buddy Kennedy added a double and a triple, raising his on-base percentage to .558.

Eight of the nine Aces in the lineup recorded at least one knock, with multi-hit games from Fletcher, Evans, Kennedy, Dominic Canzone, and Diego Castillo. Reno went a marvelous 9-for-17 (.529) with runners in scoring position.

Brandon Pfaadt struck out five over five innings of solid work, allowing three earned runs before handing the ball to a stingy Reno bullpen. Aces relievers combined for four one-run innings in the win.
