ROUND ROCK, Tex. - BOX SCORE

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Las Vegas plated five runs on five hits in the top of the first. DH Logan Davidson hit a bases-loaded single to score two runs before 1B CJ Alexander tripled into the right-center gap scratching two more across. CF Denzel Clarke sent Alexander home with a double and the Aviators led 5-0 after one.

In the fourth, the Aviators put three more on the board with a two-run double from LF Drew Avans and SS Darell Hernaiz roped a single down the left side as Avans came around to extend the Las Vegas lead to 8-0.

SS Jonathan Ornelas led off with a walk in the sixth. CF Kellen Strahm produced the E-Train’s only runs of the night with his first home run at Dell Diamond and Round Rock got on the board, 8-2.
