RENO, Nev.-Reno's bats came alive on Tuesday afternoon, as the Aces posted three multi-hit innings en route to an 11-1 victory in the series finale against the Iowa Cubs at Aces Ballpark.

Catcher Tuffy Gosewisch recorded his first four hit game of the season, hitting four singles on the afternoon.
