RENO — Dayton High fought back from a 5-0 deficit to grab an 11-7 win over South Tahoe in a Northern Division I game at Aces Ballpark Tuesday afternoon.
“After going down five runs we managed to show some heart with the five-run third and make it a new game,” Dayton coach Mike Burrows said. “We got some production from the bottom part of our order, contributing five of our 11 runs and that was the difference.
“We really needed this one, and to get it at Aces Ballpark makes it that much more special. We’ve had this one circled on our calendar for a while being it was the first time there. I was happy for the kids that it was a positive experience, and we look forward to making it an annual game on the schedule for years to come.”
The Vikings scored four in the first off Michael Selmi, and added one in the second for the aforementioned 5-0 lead. Dayton, thanks to three hits, a hit batsman, an error and fielder’s choice, tied the game in the third.
Each team scored a run in the fourth, with Jaret Reed doubling home Trevor Burrows.
South Tahoe went ahead 7-6 in the fifth, but the Dust Devils scored three in the sixth and two in the seventh for the win. D.J. Baker. Reed, Burrows and Marcos Saylor all had run-scoring hits.
Burrows led the offense with three hits and three runs scored, while Reed and Baker added two each.

RENO ACES
Reno bullpen stymies Fresno
FRESNO, Calif. — Riding a five-game losing streak entering Tuesday’s affair, the Reno Aces finally got over the hump — barely — by snapping their skid with a narrow 3-2 win against the Fresno Grizzlies at Chukchansi Park.
A two-out, two-run double by Trayvon Robinson in the fourth was enough for a wildly effective A.J. Schugel who set a career-high with six walks in five innings.
A shaky ninth by Jake Barrett overshadowed excellent work by the relief corps, but the 23-year-old managed to escape a bases-loaded jam for his fourth save.
The Aces (9-11) tacked on their final two runs on Robinson’s two-bagger in the fourth, proving to be the deciding blow.
The Aces have a travel day today before opening up a four-game set Thursday night at Las Vegas. Left-hander Vidal Nuño (2-1, 3.60) starts for the Aces against left-hander Steven Matz (2-1, 2.01). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
