He hit .333 over nine at-bats in the big leagues this year with an RBI and run scored. Reliever Stefan Crichton was recalled by the Diamondbacks today as well.

Fresh Prince of Reno: Infielder Josh Prince was signed as a minor league free agent on July 11 by the Aces. Since he debuted, he has a hit in every game compiling an eight-game hit streak in the process. He is 10-for-29 (.345) with four RBIs, four doubles, six runs scored with .387 on-base percentage.

The Birthday Boy: Aces outfielder, Matt Szczur, turned 30 years old today. He was born on July 20, 1989.

He also won a 2009 FCS National Championship with the Villanova Wildcats as Wide Receiver.
