Aces Lose Heartbreaker in Fresno, 7-6

April 14, 2018 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Reno Aces News Release

Fresno, CA - The Aces dropped an extra-inning heartbreaker in game one in Fresno tonight, allowing three runs in the bottom of the 12th inning to lose, 7-6. Right-hander Matt Koch made his first start of the 2018 season (6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R). The Reno pitching staff would hold strong until the bottom of the 8th inning. Albert Suarez (2.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 HR) allowed three runs in his second inning of work narrowing the Reno lead to one. Fresno would tie things up off Joey Krehbiel (BS, 1) in the bottom of the 9th inning and send the Aces into their first extra-inning contest of the season.

Neither side could break apart in the 10th or 11th innings, despite starting a runner at second base. Reno plated two in the top of the 12th inning thanks to a Socrates Brito RBI-single and Cody Decker sacrifice fly. However, Fresno needed just six batters against reliever Neftali Feliz to win the ballgame. The loss brings Reno to a record of (4-5) on the year and have now lost four consecutive games to the Grizzlies.
