Jake Hager’s five-RBI performance led the Aces to a 13-4 rout over the River Cats Thursday night. The Aces’ offense ignited early when Corbin Carroll blasted a leadoff solo homer in the first inning for a 1-0 lead. Reno went on to outscore the River Cats 12-4 in the remaining frames, capped off by a bases-clearing single from Hager in the seventh to cement the 13-4 victory.
