AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Reno Aces 5-1:

Steven Duggar CF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .308.
Joey Rickard LF- 2 for 2, 3B, 2 BB.  BA= .375.
Abiatal Avelino SS- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .285.
Conner Menez LHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 4.25.

Most significant development in this game is the dominant start by Conner Menez in a decidedly unfriendly pitching environment.  He is setting himself up nicely for a second half promotion.  Duggar's Dinger was a grand slam.
