San Antonio Missions News Release
SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Missions pitching staff allowed just two hits during a 2-0 victory Saturday night. This marks the second shutout win of the year for San Antonio.
For the second consecutive night, the Missions struggled to collect hits early. Midland's starter, Bryce Conley, held the Missions hitless into the fifth inning. That all changed when Juan Fernandez legged out a triple. His second consecutive night with a triple. Then Brad Zunica hit a double down the rightfield line to give San Antonio a 1-0 lead.
Aaron Leasher was the starting pitcher for the Missions and he kept the Midland offense off balance all night long. In six innings of work, Leasher allowed one base hit while striking out four batters.
