Reno, NV - Blake Walston and Luis Frías combined for a shutout in a 2-0 game one victory for the Reno Aces (16-12) over the Round Rock Express (19-9) Wednesday at Greater Nevada Field. The Express responded with a stingy pitching performance in a 6-2 game two win, securing the split.

Walston went 5 2/3 innings, allowed zero earned runs, and lowered his ERA to a team-leading 3.00 in the win. Frías came on with two runners on in the sixth and the Aces clinging to a 1-0 lead. He then struck out Matt Whatley on three pitches to distinguish the threat.

The Aces had opportunities to take control in game two but left 11 runners on and went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Jorge Barrosa went 2-for-3 with an RBI double out of the leadoff spot. Sam Huff hit two home runs for the Express.
