RockHounds Take Series with Sunday Matinee Victory
July 28, 2024 - Texas League (TL)
San Antonio Missions News Release
MIDLAND, Texas - The Missions saw their early 4-0 lead disappear as the Midland RockHounds came back to win not only the game, 7-4, but also the series. San Antonio heads home to host the Frisco RoughRiders on Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m.
An error allowed the Missions to strike first off RockHounds starter Jack Perkins in the third inning. Then with two outs, the Missions added more. Brandon Valenzuela mashed an opposite-field double to score Ripken Reyes before Cole Cummings launched a homer to right field, giving San Antonio a 4-0 lead.
Ryan Bergert continued to sharpen his performance after a month away from the mound. The Missions' starter tossed three innings with four strikeouts. His only run allowed came in the third frame when Brennan Milone knocked an RBI single to left to put Midland on the board.
Midland took advantage as soon as Bergert exited. Raul Brito struck out the first two men he faced, but the RockHounds added a pair of runs on a single from Jordan Groshans to creep closer at 4-3.
In the fifth, Brito walked a pair and turned it over to Mitch Miller. The RockHounds loaded the bases for Daniel Susac, who snuck a single into left field, bringing home two runs and catapulting Midland ahead 5-4. Brayan Buelvas tacked on a run with a hit, so after five innings, Midland led 6-4.
Midland added one in the sixth, and their bullpen held it there. Shohei Tomioka, Jake Walkinshaw and Danis Correa combined to secure the lead and the series win.
