Round Rock, Tex. - The Reno Aces (20-24) were swept in Saturday's doubleheader against the Round Rock Express (25-18) at Dell Diamond. Reno held the lead for most of the first matchup before surrendering it in the sixth inning and eventually suffering a 3-2 loss on a walk-off home run by Jantzen Witte. In the nightcap, Round Rock got off to an early four-run lead and Reno was only able to muster one hit, resulting in a 4-1 defeat.

Despite the slow day at the plate for the Aces, Andres Chaparro collected a two-RBI double in the first matchup. The power-hitter continues his torrid month of May at the plate, slashing .424/.521/.678 with three home runs, 18 RBI, and 11 base-on-balls in 71 plate appearances.

Humberto Castellanos took a no-decision in game one of Saturday's doubleheader, getting charged with two runs on seven hits and one walk through 5.2 innings, he punched out five. The 26-year-old held the Express scoreless into the sixth inning where he ran into trouble, allowing a run to pass before leaving the game with bases loaded. The right-hander owns a 5.29 ERA with a 30:13 K: BB through 32.1 innings over seven starts (eight appearances) this season.

The Aces will look to get back on track in Sunday's series finale against the Round Rock Express, the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, with the first pitch scheduled for 11:05 a.m. PT.
