Reno, NV – Jorge Barrosa and Diego Castillo came up with two huge swings in a 6-3 comeback win for the Reno Aces (13-11) over the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (8-16) Friday night at Greater Nevada Field.

With two outs and the Aces trailing by a run in the seventh, Barrosa blasted an Enoli Paredes slider 402 feet to right to tie the game.

Idk what's better...

The game-tying blast from Jorge Barrosa or the call by Jet Denker (he's only 9️⃣ years old).
