San Antonio Missions News Release
San Antonio - Nate Freiman's two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh gave the Missions a 6-5 win and a sweep of a double-header of the Midland RockHounds Friday night at Wolff Stadium.
Midland scored three times in the top of the first and once more in the third in fourth to build a 5-0 lead.
Cody Decker continued his torrid hitting by launching two more home runs and accounting for all four San Antonio runs. After his fourth inning home run in the opener proved to be the game-winner, Decker launched a solo blast to center field again in the fourth to put the Missions on the board to make it 5-1. An inning later Decker's 12th homer of the season, a three-run shot, brought San Antonio within a run at 5-4.
In the bottom of the seventh with two out and Jaff Decker on first, Freiman drilled the first pitch he saw from RockHounds closer Jonathan Ortiz over the wall in left center for the victory.
Decker and Freiman are now tied for the Double-A lead in home runs with 12.
Game three of the series is tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m. Right-hander Gary Daley (4-1, 3.62 ERA) will start for Midland and lefty Robbie Erlin (1-1, 2.20 ERA) goes for the Missions.
There will be fireworks following the game tomorrow night presented by the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance.
You can catch all the Missions action on KKYX 680 AM, the home of Missions baseball with Roy Acuff and Mike Saeger.
