Reno Aces News Release
Reno, Nevada - The neighbors around 250 Evans Avenue are aware Kevin Cron is back in the biggest little city. Within the first three innings of this afternoon's contest, Cron was responsible for both of the Aces runs. His two hits were solo blasts with the distances well over 400 feet. The Aces home run leader has spent the past month in the Major Leagues and picked up right where he left off in Reno. Unfortunately for the Aces, Albuquerque responded to the Cron bombs with 10 runs on 14 hits to pick up the victory by a score of 10-4. Reno will hit the road tomorrow and kick off a four-game series in Salt Lake before making their way to Las Vegas on Saturday for a five-game series. Right-hander Taylor Widener will make the start for Reno tomorrow and face Bees' righty Matt Ball.
