It took nine innings for the Aces to take the lead, but that's all that matters. Reno beat Tacoma, 7-6, in walk-off fashion Friday night to snap an eight-game losing streak. The game ended on a pop-fly to shortstop off the bat of Juniel Querecuto that drifted Rainiers' shortstop Kristopher Negrón just far enough into left field to allow Tim Locastro to tag-up and score from third base. This one wasn't easy for the Aces as the Rainiers jumped in front early, 6-1, by the second inning.
Kevin Cron helped the Aces claw back in the bottom of the third with a two-run double off the right field wall. However, Cron wasn't done. He tied the game in the bottom of the seventh with a 3-run home run over the batter's eye in center field. Overall, the power-hitter ended the day with two doubles, five RBIs and his PCL leading 18th home run. The Aces bullpen was stellar relieving starter Braden Shipley. Stefan Crichton, Marc Rzepczynski, and Rubby De La Rosa combined to throw six scoreless innings allowing just four hits and striking out 10 in the process. The Aces will look for back-to-back wins tomorrow night with Jon Duplantier taking the hill for Reno at 6:35 p.m.
