RENO- It was all about the Aces starter RHP Barry Enright who made sure that the Sacramento RiverCats' bats would be silenced in Game 2 at Aces Ballpark Thursday night in the best-of-five series.

Enright threw masterfully for Reno going 6.2 innings giving up 1 run on 6 hits with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk. The only blemish for Barry was a Chris Carter solo home run in the 6th inning and that was all the RiverCats would be able to muster up against Enright offensively.
