Reno, Nev. - Stone Garrett played hero for the Reno Aces (51-41) with a walk-off, two-run homer for a 7-6 victory over the El Paso Chihuahuas (52-40) Saturday night in front of 6,962 attendees at Greater Nevada Field.

Trailing 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth, Cooper Hummel began Reno's rally with a walk and later advanced to second on a wild pitch. With Hummel on second, Garrett drove a ball over the left field scoreboard to end the game in a 7-5 final decision.

In the second inning, Wilmer Difo homered in his second-straight game with a solo smash to the berm in right field.
