Aces Take Flight Nine Times in Blowout Win Over Aviators

Reno put on an offensive clinic Saturday night putting up 19 hits in their 20-9 victory over Las Vegas. The win marks the fifth win in a row for the club, a season high. Reno jumped out to a 12-2 lead after three innings and never looked back. Seven different players from the Biggest Little City homered nine different times in the game. The big flies came from Domingo Leyba (2, career high), John Ryan Murphy (2), Abraham Almonte (leadoff), Andy Young (First Triple-A home run), Kevin Cron (26th of the year), Yasmany Tomás (22nd of the year) and Wyatt Mathisen (19th of the year). Domingo Leyba led the way offensively with a 5-for-6 performance with two home runs, three runs scored, and six RBIs. Every Aces starter had at least one run scored and one hit in the game. Right-hander Riley Smith picked up the win in his Triple-A debut tossing 5.2 innings allowing eight runs on 10 hits to go with three strikeouts. But hey, a win is a win. Reno will look for their sixth in a row with Taylor Widener taking the ball in a rare Sunday night game with first pitch slated for 7:05 p.m.
