Reno, NV – Dominic Canzone’s multi-hit, multi-RBI day sparked the Reno Aces (4-7) offense, but the bullpen surrendered four late runs in an 8-6 defeat to the Sacramento River Cats (6-6) Thursday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field.

The River Cats took advantage of five walks over the last two innings to outlast the Aces. Reno led 4-3 after five but couldn’t hold on late, giving up the lead before tying the game at six in the eighth.

Canzone drove in three runs on two doubles in the loss. The Ohio State product has three extra-base hits in the last two games, including the lone home run for the Aces in the series.
