Reno Aces News Release


Reno, Nevada - The Aces dropped the series finale against the Aviators by a score of 12-8 on Tuesday night. Both Reno and Vegas have won four games against each other in 2019. The Aces made a valiant effort to come back in this one once trailing by six runs by the fifth inning. A five-run sixth for the Aces tied the game at eight apiece. In that inning Wyatt Mathisen had an RBI, Matt Szczur had two, and Cody Decker hit his 200th career Minor League home run, a two-run blast, to knot the game.

The good times wouldn't last long as Vegas answered back with four more runs the very next inning. RBI-doubles from Sheldon Neuse and Franklin Barreto put the Aviators up by two. Corban Joseph then singled home Barreto and Nick Martini added a sacrifice fly to extend the club's lead. Righty J.B. Wendelken picked up the win tonight tossing 1.2 innings and giving up two runs in relief. The Aces will head to Albuquerque tomorrow to take on the Isotopes in game one of a five-game set starting at 5:35 p.m.
