San Antonio would finally crack to scoreboard in the 5th as Michael Collins got the Missions first hit of the game, a one out triple to center, and was driven home on a bloop single to right by Yefri Carvajal to give the Missions a 1-0 lead.

Additon ran into some trouble in the bottom of the 6th as Mitch Canham drew a one out walk, Andy Parrino singled and Cedric Hunter delivered a two-run double to make the score 3-0.
