Notes:
"Three Hunnid": Ildemaro Vargas played in his 300th career game last night for the Reno Aces going 1-for-4 with a double while playing a solid second base. Cole Gillespie leads the franchise in total games played with 374 from 2009-2012. Vargas is the all-time hit leader for the franchise with 416 base knocks to his name. Vargas' 1,282 at-bats are second all-time in franchise history, along with his 210 runs scored. He has the most doubles for the Aces in team history with 86. He is currently hitting .450 (27-for-60) with seven doubles, a home run, and a .529 on-base percentage for Reno this season.
Incredible Managing: Over the last two games, manager Chris Cron has gone with the unconventional approach of batting the pitcher in the eight spot of the order, and a position player in the nine spot with the hopes of jump starting the top of the lineup. So far, it has worked flawlessly. Juniel Querecuto and Ben DeLuzio have combined to go 5-for-8 with two home runs, a triple, five RBIs, four runs scored in the nine hole over the last two games. Tonight's starting pitcher, Joel Payamps, is slated to hit out the eight spot in the order for game three of the series.
Don't Forget: Saturday, August 3rd at 7:05 p.m., is Military Appreciation Night at Greater Nevada Field. It's always one of the best nights of the year! Join us as we honor those who served our country with special pre-game ceremonies, food specials, a jersey auction & more! | Presented by Silverstate International and Peterbilt Truck Parts & Equipment & KKOH AM 780.
