Reno, NV – Micheladas de Reno (37-30, 81-61) couldn’t capitalize enough on scoring opportunities in a 6-4 loss to the Salt Lake Bees (29-38, 66-75) Friday night at Greater Nevada Field.

After falling behind 2-0 in the top of the first, Blaze Alexander lined home two with a single in the bottom half. The Aces had outscored the Bees 13-4 over their last two wins but couldn’t match that production in game four. Alexander, who entered with a .412 on base percentage in September, reached three times on three hits.
