Los Corazones de Reno Earn First Copa Win in History

June 21, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Reno Aces News Release


Reno, Nevada - Thursday night proved to be a fiesta for Los Corazones de Reno. In particular, infielder Andy Young, who celebrated with his first career Triple-A hit, a go-ahead bases clearing triple that gave the club the lead during their 6-4 victory over Los Mariachis de Nuevo México (Albuquerque Isotopes). The Aces put on a show playing comeback kids in this one, trailing 4-0 after the Isotopes' turn to bat in the fifth. Using the long ball, Reno scratched their way back. John Ryan Murphy, Wyatt Mathisen, and Cody Decker all hit solo home runs in the game to bring the score to 4-3 by the last half of the eighth. That's when Abraham Almonte walked, Yasmany Tomas was intentionally walked, and Travis Snider singled to load the bases. The North Dakota native, Young, then worked the count to 3-2 and eventually drove a line-drive into the left center field gap to bring home the winning runs. Right-hander Joey Krehbiel picked up his first win of the season throwing a scoreless eighth inning and Jimmie Sherfy picked up his 11th save of the year. Join us for another party tomorrow night on Fireworks Friday with Nevada alum Braden Shipley toeing the rubber at 7:05 p.m.
