SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The offenses showed up for the series finale, but a six-run sixth ultimately led to a 9-7 Reno loss to force a series split with Sacramento on Sunday afternoon.

For the fifth consecutive game, Sacramento (20-17) scored the first run of the game, but Reno (20-19) once again had an immediate answer with three runs in the top of the second inning.

Andrew Velazquez got things rolling with his second home run of the week, a two-run shot to right field to put the Aces in front. Three batters later, Anderdson Rojas connected for an RBI double plating a third run for the BLC-Nine.

Reno tacked on two more runs on in the fifth thanks to a RBI singles from both LuJames Groover and Tommy Troy. The pair extended their reached-base streaks on Sunday with Groover's moving up to 32 consecutive games while Troy's moved to 22 straight.

The Aces entered the bottom of the sixth leading 5-3, but the River Cats rallied together a six-run frame on three singles, three walks, and two hit by pitches to completely flip the game upside down as Sacramento took a 9-5 lead.

Down to their final four outs, Rojas came up clutch again with a two-RBI single with outs in the top of the eighth to bring the Aces within two. Unfortunately, Reno was retired in order in the ninth to end the ballgame, 9-7.

The Aces will return home next week for the second edition of the Silver State Showdown, presented by America250 Nevada. First pitch on Tuesday is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. at Greater Nevada Field.
