Renom, Nev. - The Reno Aces (2-1) had back-to-back runners thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the twelfth inning, which handed the club a 9-8 defeat to the Sacramento River Cats (3-1), Tuesday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field in front of the largest Opening Day crowd since 2016, with a 6,015 announced attendance.

In a see-saw battle entering the eighth inning, Reno took a 6-4 advantage, however, Jakson Reetz connected on his second home run of the game off an Austin Pope slider. The two-run blast to knotted the game at six runs apiece.
