Aces hit three runs in the ninth to defeat the Chihuahuas

After the Chihuahuas scored five unanswered points through six innings, relief pitcher Derek Eitel allowed three runs in the ninth inning as the Chihuahuas fell 8-5 to the Reno Aces on Sunday, April 17.

Aces catcher Tuffy Gosewisch rattled El Paso pitcher Leonel Campos after hitting a double in the ninth inning. Then, Campos allowed a walk, setting up a horrid situation for Eitel, who relieved Campos. Right fielder Jason Bourgeois hit a go-ahead, two-run RBI double, which lifted the Aces 7-5. Following the go-ahead runs, shortstop Jack Reinheimer tallied a RBI single to extend the lead for the Aces.
