Reno, Nev. – The Reno Aces (2-1) had back-to-back runners thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the twelfth inning, which handed the club a 9-8 defeat to the Sacramento River Cats (3-1), Tuesday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field in front of the largest Opening Day crowd since 2016, with a 6,015 announced attendance.

In a see-saw battle entering the eighth inning, Reno took a 6-4 advantage, however, Jakson Reetz connected on his second home run of the game off an Austin Pope slider. The two-run blast to knotted the game at six runs apiece.

From there, both clubs exchanged runs on offense into the 12th inning. The River Cats would then swing a double down the left field line to obtain the game-winning run. The Aces were unable to respond in the bottom of the 12th.

Despite the loss, Kyle Garlick extended his home run streak to three games. The power-hitting 32-year-old went 2-5 with two home runs on Tuesday and is off to a torching hot start to 2024. He now leads the PCL in home runs (4), RBI (9), extra-base hits (5) and total bases (18).

The six-game series continues on Wednesday with the first pitch scheduled at 2:05 p.m. P.T.
