NEW ORLEANS, LA. - New Orleans rode an impressive outing by starter Brad Hand, and came away with a 5-1 victory Sunday night against Reno.
The Zephyrs picked up a single run in both the first and fourth innings. Outfielder Bryan Peterson and infielder Chris Valaika each recorded RBI doubles, and gave New Orleans a 2-0 lead.
In the seventh, New Orleans added an additional run on a bases-loaded walk by Reno's Chase Anderson, and extended their lead to three runs.
The Aces would later enter the ninth, in hopes of avoiding the shutout, and Matt Davidson finally got Reno on the board with an RBI double. RHP Josh Wall would end the Aces attempt at a comeback however, and finished off the Zephyrs 5-1 victory.
