The Reno Silver Sox handed the Yuma Scorpions their first loss of the second half last night, as they beat the Scorpions 8 - 6.
2B Maurice Cole, leading off for the Silver Sox in the first inning, blasted a solo homerun to set the tone for the Silver Sox and gave the Silver Sox the early lead.
In the fifth inning, LF Kane Simmons hit his GBL leading 11th homerun which was also in front of his father who came out to see his son play professional baseball.
Silver Sox starter, Dusty Bergman, gave the Silver Sox a solid effort tonight, pitching seven innings, his last inning being his worst. In the seventh inning, Bergman gave up two runs on two wild pitches, which allowed the Scorpions to tie up the ball game at 6 - 6.
