West Sacramento, Calif. – An offensive barrage led by a five-RBI night from Jake Hager propelled the Reno Aces (68-52) past the Sacramento River Cats (52-68) in a 13-4 victory Thursday night at Sutter Health Park.

Corbin Carroll gave the Aces a quick 1-0 lead with a leadoff 463-foot solo homer to center in the first inning.

Reno went on to outscore the River Cats 12-4 in the remaining frames capped off by a bases-clearing single from Hager in the seventh to cement the 13-4 victory.
