Las Vegas, Nev. – Dominic Canzone guided the Reno Aces (78-62) offense with four hits, including two home runs in a 17-5 victory over the Las Vegas Aviators (69-73) in the series opener Tuesday night in front of 7,017 fans at Las Vegas Ballpark.

The Aces collected a season-high 23 hits in the game and have won 11 of the last 13 contests against Las Vegas. They now own an 18-7 record in the Silver State Diamond Challenge presented by the Nevada Donor Network.

Reno’s offense took a commanding lead following three straight, three-run frames in the third, fourth, and fifth innings. The Aces continued to pound the Aviators’ pitching, with seven unanswered runs in the final three innings, culminating in a six-run seventh inning.
