Missions starting pitcher Steve Garrison (1-1) was the player of the night, carrying a no-hitter through seven innings before being taking out due to a high pitch count.

Garrison went seven innings on the night, striking out five while walking two batters and facing one over the minimum. The Missions' Sean Kazmar had two hits on the night with two runs batted in.

The Naturals' offense managed to get a run in the ninth inning when Irving Falu singled to center, scoring Jose Duarte. Starting pitcher Daniel Cortes had a decent outing, tossing four shutout innings, allowing only two hits, striking out two batters while giving up three walks. Paul Mildren (0-2) picked up the loss, going two innings, allowing only one run on two hits, with one strike out and walked a season-high four batters.
