[RENO ACES RELEASE]
Stone Garrett played hero for the Reno Aces (51-41) with a walk-off, two-run homer for a 7-6 victory over the El Paso Chihuahuas (52-40) Saturday night in front of 6,962 attendees at Greater Nevada Field.
Trailing 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth, Cooper Hummel began Reno’s rally with a walk and later advanced to second on a wild pitch. With Hummel on second, Garrett drove a ball over the left field scoreboard to end the game in a 7-5 final decision.
With the win, the Aces are riding a three-game winning streak and have won 10 of the last 11 contests.
Kevin Ginkel earned his second win of the season after the right-hander tossed a scoreless ninth, allowed one hit, no runs and struck out a batter.
In the second inning, Wilmer Difo homered in his second-straight game with a solo smash to the berm in right field.
