RENO, Nev. – Nick Heath’s walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning over the right-field wall sealed the Reno Aces (7-6) 4-3 victory over the Salt Lake Bees (7-6) Tuesday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field.

Drew Ellis put the Aces on the board first with his second home run of the season, a two-run, 436-foot shot over the left-center field wall in the first inning.

Matt Davidson’s MiLB home run lead continues after the right-handed slugger smashed his eighth of the year, a solo blast off the left-field foul pole in the third inning.

Kevin Ginkel secured his first win with a scoreless ninth inning before Heath’s heroics in the bottom half of the frame.

Tommy Henry had his best performance in an Aces uniform on the day; the left-hander was handed a no-decision after he tossed 5.1 hitless IP with four walks and a season-high seven strikeouts.
