Reno, NV - P.J. Higgins and Diego Castilo's clutch two-out run-scoring hits in the eighth inning propelled the Reno Aces (4-6) to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Sacramento River Cats (5-6) Wednesday night at Greater Nevada Field.

Down 4-1 entering the bottom of the eighth inning, Dominic Fletcher's one-out walk triggered Reno's sweltering rally. With two outs and two in scoring position, Higgins doubled high off the left-field wall to bring the Aces within one run. Castillo drove home Higgins with a hard-hit single to take the lead, completing the comeback.

Dominic Canzone blasted a Tristan Beck curveball to right to put Reno on the board in the fifth, his third hit in four at-bats off Beck since last season.

Beck was otherwise fabulous, twirling five innings of one-run ball. Reno starter Tommy Henry struck out nine in his outing, including the 250th of his impressive Minor League career.

Reno's bullpen allowed zero earned runs in 3 2/3 innings. Mitchell Stumpo protected a one-run lead in the ninth to pick up his first save of the season.
