Dubon Does It Again

April 11, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
San Antonio Missions News Release


SAN ANTONIO - Mauricio Dubon and the San Antonio Missions have a flair for the dramatic. For the second consecutive night Dubon singled in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Missions the 6-5 victory over the Memphis Redbirds.

The Redbirds tied the game in the top of the ninth with a pair of runs off Josh Fields but once again in the home half of the inning the Missions' bats came through.

Cory Spangenberg got the inning started with a double over the head of left fielder Lane Thomas. Jacob Nottingham drew a walk as did Corey Ray two batters later to provide Dubon with the opportunity to be a hero for the second straight night and he did not disappoint. The 24-year-old lashed a base hit into center field to win the game

Keston Hiura had himself a pair of hits on the night. He smoked a ground rule double to right center field in the sixth and belted an opposite field blast in the eight to make it 5-3.

For the first time this season the Missions surrendered the opening run of the game. Memphis plated a pair of runs in the top of the third off San Antonio starter, Bubba Derby. The win was the first multi-run come-from-behind win of the season for the Missions
