RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (10-11) dropped a heartbreaker in extra innings, falling 9-8 to the Round Rock Express (11-10), the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, in Sunday's series finale at Greater Nevada Field. The Express took home the series with the win, taking four out of six matchups from the Aces.

Down by a run in the eighth, Jordan Lawlar came through in the clutch, launching his team-leading fifth home run to tie the game and give the Aces a shot at the win.
