May 7, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Reno Aces News Release


Sacramento, Calif. - The home run ball was in the air tonight in the capital of California. The Aces and River Cats combined for eight home runs on a cool Sacramento evening, with the home team earning the victory. The Aces dropped the final game of the four-game set by a score of 12-6. Led by San Francisco Giants prospect Mac Williamson who hit three homers, Sactown hit seven total home runs - one shy of their franchise record set in 2009. The loss moves Reno to a record of 13-18 and improves the Cats to 16-15.

For a second consecutive night, Reno jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first inning. On Sunday the visiting Aces posted six runs in the first and tonight Reno posted four. Braden Shipley then took the mound, making his first start in over a year. The University of Nevada product went four innings in his first start, allowed three runs on four hits and two home runs. Shipley exited in the bottom of the fifth, the sun set and southpaw Anthony Vasquez took the mound. Four innings, five homers and nine runs later the ballgame was finally over. Domingo Leyba (2-for-4, 2 R) and Marty Herum (2-for-4, 2 RBI, HR) led the Aces offensively, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Sacramento longball.
