Las Vegas, NV – Jorge Barrosa set the tone for the Reno Aces (41-30, 85-61) in a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Aviators (40-31, 74-71) Wednesday night at Las Vegas Ballpark.

Barrosa led off the game with a thundering triple into right center in the top of the first. The dynamic switch-hitting centerfielder singled, tripled, and homered as the catalyst for the Aces offense. Reno sent 12 hitters to the plate in the third and scored seven runs in a full group explosion. Barrosa and Tristin English each homered in the frame.

Tyler Gilbert and Josh Green combined for six one run innings with four strikeouts and just one walk. The duo kept the high flying Aviators in check and allowed the offense to thrive through the middle of game two. The Aces scored nine unanswered runs after the affair began 1-1.

Have a night Jorge 🙌
