The Reno Aces allowed the Sugar Land Space Cowboys to capitalize in a tie game in the ninth inning, falling in walk-off fashion in Sunday’s series finale at Constellation Field.
The win concludes the Aces Road schedule for the 2024 season.
After collecting his first career Triple-A home run in last night’s win, Andy Weber delivered a clutch, game-tying big fly in the top of the seventh to complete a three-run comeback. Weber has swung it well since his promotion to Reno, slashing two home runs and seven RBI in eight games.
Hernandez came through with a much-needed spark, roping his 11th home run of the campaign in the sixth inning, a two-run 383-foot round tripper into left-center field.
Jordan Lawlar started the scoring for Reno with his second home run of the year, a solo shot in the fourth frame. The Diamondback’s #1 overall prospect has so far lived up to his potential in 7 games with the Aces this season, going 12-for-31 with five extra-base hits and 10 RBI.
The Aces will now return to Greater Nevada Field for their final series of the season against the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m.
