SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio Missions (3-4) starting lefty Jagger Haynes showed up and showed out against the Amarillo Sod Poodles (3-4) before of a packed house at The Wolff while Jake Cunningham and Albert Fabian each blasted home runs in the fourth inning en route to a 6-2 Missions win.

The Missions offense rallied early off an error from Sod Poodles second baseman Demetrio Crisantes. After Cunningham reached successfully, Braedon Karpathios reached off a beautiful soft bunt. Ryan Jackson mimicked Karpathios with a sacrifice bunt of his own to put two Missions into scoring position. Fabian notched a two-run single off a hard-hit ground ball that bounced off the pitching mound, putting the Missions up early 2-0.

Haynes cruised through six innings of the contest while striking out four Sod Poodles. Haynes matched his season high 6.2 innings in this contest, though he ran into some fatigue in the seventh inning. After walking two Sod Poodles, a wild pitch, and a balk scored two runs for Amarillo. Falling an out short of finishing the stanza, Francis Peña came in for a taxed Haynes after a stellar performance to finish things off.

Cunningham and Fabian kept the good times rolling in the fourth with their moonshots to double the Missions lead at the time to 4-0. The duo continued to dominate against Amarillo with two doubles in the sixth inning to score an additional run. Cunningham crossed home plate for a third time in the seventh after a wild pitch from Roman Angelo to pad the Missions' lead at 6-2.

Missions reliever Josh Mallitz capped the night off with a pop out and two emphatic strikeouts to finish the Missions' 6-2 victory.
