Reno, Nevada - The Aces continued their magical season on Thursday night at Greater Nevada Field. Tied at 10 runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Juniel Querecuto stepped to the plate to face position player Jett Bandy. Bandy, who is primarily a catcher, was on the mound for Nashville in the 9^th in order to conserve bullpen arms after the Sounds sent six other relievers to the mound. With a 1-2 count, Querecuto blooped a ball into center field to score Wyatt Mathisen from second base. The walk-off single was the Aces fifth last at-bat victory of the season. Reno will welcome the Memphis Redbirds to Northern Nevada tomorrow night with the first pitch slated for 7:05 p.m.
