San Antonio - The San Antonio Missions jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Frisco RoughRiders rallied to tie the game and send it to extra innings where Rymer Liriano hit a walk-off single to give San Antonio a 5-4, 10-inning victory.

The Missions got to Frisco starter Nick Tepesch early. With one out in the first inning, Dean Anna walked, Jonathan Galvez singled to right and Nate Freiman also drew a free pass to load the bases. Designated hitter Cody Decker promptly singled to center bringing home Anna and Galvez for a quick 2-0 lead.

Anna's RBI ground out the following inning plated catcher Jeremy Rodriguez for a 3-0 advantage. San Antonio's fourth run of the game came when Freiman scored on a wild pitch in the fifth from RoughRiders reliever Miguel De Los Santos.

Frisco cut the lead in half in the sixth as first baseman Chris McGuiness doubled in the left center gap and third baseman Tommy Mendonca followed with a single to left to score McGuiness and make it a 4-3 game.

The RoughRiders tied it up in the top of the ninth and could have taken the lead but Jose Felix was thrown out at home by centerfielder Reymond Fuentes to end the inning.

Galvez led off the 10th with a single, Freiman followed with a double into the left field corner, Decker was intentionally walked to load the bases setting the stage for Liriano who singled over the heads of a drawn in outfield to give the Missions the walk-off win.

The fourth and final game of the series is tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m. with right-hander Neil Ramirez (1-2, 3.62 ERA) going for the RoughRiders and fellow righty Eddie Kunz (2-4, 6.75 ERA) getting the start for San Antonio.
