MEMPHIS, TN - Reno outlasted Memphis in 13 innings to beat the Redbirds 4-3 Tuesday night at AutoZone Park.

David Winfree led the Aces with three runs and two hits and Jake Elmore, Josh Bell and Taylor Harbin all picked up three hits on the night. Anderson led the Redbirds with three RBI while Ryan Jackson went 4-for-7 at the plate.
