RENO, Nev. (Interstat) — The Reno Aces look to secure a series victory when they host the Salt Lake Bees in the finale of a six-game set Sunday evening at Greater Nevada Field.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. PDT under cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 50s.

The Pacific Coast League rivals have split the first five games of the series, with Salt Lake (4-8) snapping a four-game skid with a 6-3 win on Friday. Reno (8-4) responded with a 3-2 victory Saturday night.

The Bees will send right-hander Thomas Hatch (0-0, -.-- ERA) to the mound for his first start of the season. He will be opposed by a Reno starter to be announced.

A player to watch for Salt Lake is right-hander Brett Kerry, who earned the win in Friday’s contest. Kerry allowed three earned runs over 4 2/3 innings, striking out six. Over his last three appearances, he has a 7.36 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings.

Reno’s power threat, Ivan Melendez, homered in Friday’s loss. The designated hitter is 3 for 12 with a home run and two RBIs in the series.

The Aces have dominated the season series, winning four of the five meetings. Their offense has averaged 7.8 runs per game against Salt Lake pitching this week.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projection for Sunday’s finale is a 7-4 victory for the home team.

Following the series, the Bees return home to open a six-game series against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys on Tuesday. The Aces remain at home to begin a six-game set with the Las Vegas Aviators on Tuesday.
