Las Vegas, Nev. – Home runs belted by Alek Thomas and Dominic Canzone led the Reno Aces offense, but a five-run ninth inning solidified a 10-6 loss to the Durham Bulls in the Triple-A National Championship Game Sunday afternoon at Las Vegas Ballpark.
Thomas went 2-for-5, which included a two-run blast in the bottom of the second inning into the right-field bullpens, which capped a three-run inning for the Aces.
Canzone added a multi-hit effort highlighted by a towering solo home run to right-center field in the bottom of the eighth inning.
A big spot for a big shot 🚀
