Down 10-6 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, the Aces strung together eight hits to score seven runs to propel them to a 13-10 victory over the Sacramento River Cats. Trailing by one, Abraham Almonte knocked in the tying run on an RBI-single to left field to score Carlos Asuaje. Tim Locastro followed it up with a two-RBI double to give the Biggest Little City a 12-10 advantage. The very next hitter, Ildemaro Vargas, tripled to bring in Locastro and the final run of the night. The win puts Reno six games behind Sacramento in the Pacific Northern division with five head-to-head matchups remaining. Damien Magnifico earned his second win of the year in the contest throwing two innings of shutout baseball in relief. Lucas Luetge picked up his first save of the season for Reno. Kevin Cron homered in the game, good for his 38th of the season in an Aces' uniform. The River Cats' Jaylin Davis went deep two more times in the game and now has six big flies total in the series. Reno and Sacramento will pick things back up tomorrow at 1:05 p.m. PT.
