Reno Aces News Release


Reno, NEV. - Kristopher Negron and Ildemaro Vargas recorded the only Aces hits on Wednesday night in Tacoma, Washington. Negron doubled in the top of the sixth and Vargas hit a solo home run in the eighth. Vargas' home run was the only run Reno scored in game two of the series. Tacoma starter Christian Bergman was phenomenal tonight. He went seven innings, allowed one hit, no runs and struck out four. Bergman saw his no-hit bid broken up on a double by Negron off of the right-field wall. Bergman, Dan Altavilla, and James Pazos combined to allow one run on two hits and struck out six to give Reno their 62nd loss of the season.

Tacoma got to Reno starter Neftali Feliz in the bottom of the first inning. Pacific Coast League All-Star Daniel Vogelbach hit a Feliz fastball over the right-field wall for his 20th home run of the season. Adam Las brought the score to 2-0 in the third inning with a double to score Seth Mejias-Brean. Three batters later, David Freitas got plunked to bring in the third Tacoma run of the evening. The Rainiers plated two in the third, fourth, and fifth innings before the Aces offense recorded a single hit. After taking an 8-0 lead through seven innings, Ildemaro Vargas cut the gap to seven with a solo blast. Unfortunately for Reno, Tacoma responded with three of their own in the bottom of the inning and held on for the victory. Reno will take on Tacoma one final time this season tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m. Greg Gross will send right-hander Joel Payamps to the mound to square off against Tacoma southpaw David Rawlins.
