ROUND ROCK, Texas – The Round Rock Donuts (14-6 | 58-36) earned yet another one-run win in a 4-3 victory over the Reno Aces (9-11 | 53-42) at Dell Diamond on Saturday night to secure, at minimum, the series split.

Round Rock reliever RHP Marc Church (3-0, 3.20) earned the win after 2.0 scoreless innings that did not include a hit but saw two walks. Reno reliever LHP Andrew Saalfrank (0-1, 4.09) recorded his first loss of the season after allowing one run and two hits with one strikeout in the eighth inning.

Along the Train Tracks:

  • The Donuts scored first and took a 1-0 lead in the third inning after SS Jonathan Ornelas doubled and stole a base before getting knocked in on a single from 2B Dio Arias.
  • In both the fifth and sixth innings, Reno launched solo home runs after RF Tristin English hit a bomb in the fifth and tied the game at one. DH Kyle Lewis ripped a solo shot and gave the visitors a 2-1 lead.
  • Round Rock tied it up at two in the sixth inning with a solo home run from CF Bubba Thompson. They took a 3-2 lead after 3B Justin Foscue reached on a fielding error by LHP Konnor Pilkington and scored on a triple from 1B Blaine Crim.
  • Reno did not let the lead last long and tied the game back up at 3-3 in the seventh inning. CF Dominic Fletcher belted a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded after Donuts RHP Fer Ozuna allowed the first three batters to reach.
  • For the Donuts, Thompson doubled with two outs in the eighth inning and scored on a single from Foscue. Round Rock RHP Marc Church pitched a scoreless ninth to secure the 4-3 victory.

E-Train Excerpts:

  • Round Rock RHP Fer Ozuna saw his scoreless streak end at 16.2 innings after Aces DH Kyle Lewis launched a one-out home run in the sixth inning. It’s the first time he has allowed a run since May 26.
  • With an RBI-triple in the sixth inning, Round Rock 1B Blaine Crim smacked his team-leading fifth triple of the season. Five triples is tied for third-most in the Pacific Coast League.
  • The Donuts pitching staff kept the Aces hottest hitters in 1B Phillip Evans and LF Diego Castillo off the bases. The duo combined to go 0-for-8 with two strikeouts.

Next up: Round Rock and Reno will play in the series finale at Dell Diamond on Sunday, July 23, with first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. CT. Express RHP Robert Dugger (5-6, 5.02) is slated to start up against Aces RHP Bryce Jarvis (5-5, 5.81).
