Adam Fox got the ‘Riders on the scoreboard first, delivering a two run blast into the left field seats plating catcher Manny Pina to bring the score to 2-0.

The Missions answered as speedy centerfielder Luis Durango led of the third inning with a single into center and later scored, along with Cedric Hunter and Mike Baxter, giving San Antonio the 3-2 advantage. Hunter and Baxter came across the plate again in the fifth inning to make the score 5-2 and give the Missions the win.

Michael Schlact (0-1) took the loss in a four inning effort, allowing five runs on 12 hits with two strikeouts. Ernesto Frieri improved to 2-1 on the year after allowing two runs on three hits. San Antonio used a combined five pitchers in the win (Frieri, Mcdaid, DeMark, Hudgins, Scribner).
