The Salt Lake Bees jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the second inning, but had to hang on in the ninth for a 10-8 win over the Reno Aces on Monday night. The Bees started out quickly in the first by scoring six runs six batters into the game. Taylor Ward, Michael Stefanic and Matt Thaiss opened up the inning with three straight singles for a 1-0 lead.
