Reno, NV – Dominic Fletcher and Blaze Alexander drove in seven runs combined in a 14-12 Reno Aces (10-15, 54-46) loss to the Oklahoma City Dodgers (17-8, 67-31) Friday night at Greater Nevada Field.

Fletcher hit his sixth and seventh homers of the season, cruising past his Aces total from 2022 (5). The former Arkansas Razorback went 3-for-5 with the two long balls, a single, and a free pass. Blaze Alexander crushed a three-run homer to the opposite field in the third, giving the Aces an 8-7 lead after they trailed 7-1. It was Alexander’s fifth blast on the year.

Reno’s offense was fantastic throughout game four with 16 hits and a whopping 16 opportunities with runners in scoring position. The Aces delivered with seven knocks in those spots and got multi-hit nights from Fletcher, Pavin Smith, Kyle Lewis, Diego Castillo, and Ryan Bliss, who doubled for his second extra-base hit in as many nights.
