For the fourth time in four nights, the Aces were on the wrong side of a one run ballgame. Las Vegas took the series finale 3-2 over Reno thanks to a ninth inning comeback. The Aces led 2-1 in the final frame courtesy of a solo home run from Caleb Joseph and an RBI-double off the bat of Yasmany Tomás. However, the Aviators' offense was able to get to Jimmie Sherfy in the ninth. Outfielder Dustin Fowler worked a one-out walk and Jorge Mateo doubled him home the very next batter to tie the game. With one out in the inning, the Aces loaded the bases in hopes for a double play. They got infielder Sheldon Neuse to pop up to bring it to two outs. Sherfy could not get out of the jam as Beau Taylor earned a walk to bring in the winning run for Vegas. It is Sherfy's second blown save of the season. Join us tomorrow at Greater Nevada Field for some Independence Day Baseball slated to begin at 6:35 p.m. with right-hander Riley Smith on the mound.
