Reno, NV - The Salt Lake Bees snapped their five game losing streak, as they edged the Reno Aces 6-5 on Monday night. Salt Lake broke a 5-5 tie in the fifth inning, as Kaleb Cowart led off with a double, advanced to third on a ground out and scored on a grounder by Kyle Kubitza. The Bees had jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning on a two run triple by Cowart, a sacrifice fly by Ji-Man Choi and a run scoring single by Ryan Jackson. Salt Lake led 5-2 in the third, but Reno tied the game on a three run homer by Kyle Jensen.
