Christian Montes De Oca entered the eighth inning to relieve Cecconi and complete the shutout, working for two innings and allowing one hit. The right-hander was dominant in the series against Oklahoma City, holding his opponent scoreless through four frames with one save.

Reno's offense was highlighted by a crucial seventh inning where the Aces reached base six times with two outs, generating four runs. Tristin English, Kyle Garlick, Andres Chaparro, and Deyvison De Los Santos were each credited with RBI singles in the breakout inning.
