FRESNO GRIZZLIES 4, RENO ACES 3, 12 INNINGS

Play on: Brett Pill's walk-off home run in the 12th inning Tuesday night before 4,490 gave Fresno a 4-3 victory over Reno at Chukchansi Park. Pill earlier tied it with a solo homer in the eighth.

Bonser away: Fresno starter Boof Bonser hit his first career home run -- off top prospect Trevor Bauer, no less -- to put the Grizzlies ahead 2-1 in the fifth. It was the first home run for a Fresno pitcher at home since Kevin Pickford (Clovis West High) in 2003.

Early entertainment: The couple of dozen or so fans who entered the stadium early got to see Bauer's unusual pregame routine. First, he did some stretching with a 7-foot-tall flexible metal wand that shimmies and shakes to loosen his shoulders. Then, he jogged out to the warning track in right-center field and played extreme long toss with a teammate standing near the left-field corner -- probably a 350-foot heave. Another player was stationed in left center to get the return throw back to Bauer.

Chasing Honus: Time is running short to buy raffle tickets for the unopened pack of 1909-era Piedmont cigarettes, some of which contain valuable T206 series baseball cards. The drawing will take place during Monday's season finale. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased on the main concourse during games or at (559) 320-4487.

Moves: C Eric Sim took the roster spot of C Tyler LaTorre, who left the Grizzlies to join the Italian National Team for the European Baseball Championships.

Up next: The series continues at 7:05 p.m. today with Fresno LH Brian Burres (4-6, 5.48) facing Reno RH Joe Martinez (10-10, 5.53), an ex-Giants farmhand who made 18 starts for the Grizzlies in 2009 and 2010.
