WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Despite commanding the lead on three separate occasions, the Reno Aces (33-26) fell to the Sacramento River Cats (23-36), 4-3, on an 11th-inning, walk-off home run Saturday night at Sutter Health Park. The defeat snapped Reno’s season-long seven-game winning streak.

The Aces got on the board first on Dominic Fletcher’s sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning, plated Dominic Canzone, and secured a 1-0 advantage.

Cole Tucker’s sacrifice fly to left field scored Canzone, who was the free runner at the top of the 10th inning. Wilmer Difo added an RBI single in the top of the 11th inning, giving Reno a 3-2 lead that was not enough.

Luis Frias (1-2) was handed the loss after he surrendered the walk-off home run to Sacramento in the final frame. He was charged with three runs (one earned) on two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts.

Stone Garrett extended his hitting streak to eight games with a two-hit night. Difo and Fletcher also produced multi-hit nights for the Aces.

Aces starter Tommy Henry earned a no-decision after the lefty tossed six scoreless innings and held the River Cats to two hits, one walk, and six strikeouts.
