Reno Aces News Release

Albuquerque, NM - The Reno Aces (34-28, 78-59) had trouble stopping the Albuquerque Isotopes (33-29, 60-77) in Saturday's 14-7 loss at Isotopes Park.

The Isotopes blitzed the Aces with four runs in the bottom of the first, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with offense. Jake McCarthy struck back with a two-run homer as part of a three-run third, including Adrian Del Castillo's RBI single. McCarthy is delivering an incredible encore after winning the PCL's Player of the Week award.

Blaze Alexander was highly productive with three hits. Alexander drove in a run in the fifth as the Aces attempted to charge from behind. Tristin English scored two with a majestic homer in the seventh, his 13th of the season. Alexander, Diego Castillo, and Phillip Evans each tallied multi-hit games.

Albuquerque played to the friendly offensive confines of its home park throughout the day. The Isotopes smacked a gaudy 23 hits and went 11-for-25 with runners in scoring position. The Aces will get one last shot at a road series win Sunday afternoon at 12:35 p.m. PT from Isotopes Park.
