San Antonio Rallies from Early Hole and Walks Off

August 25, 2016 - Texas League (TL1)
San Antonio Missions News Release


Luis Tejada's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th gave San Antonio a 4-3 walk-off win over Frisco Thursday night at Wolff Stadium.

The RoughRiders entered Thursday's contest having lost five straight games against the Missions. Former big leaguer Scott Carroll, who was making his seventh start in the Texas organization since being traded from Chicago (AL) last month, was called upon to slow down San Antonio. The veteran right-hander did just that in his six innings, limiting the Missions to just one run on five hits and one walk.

Frisco took advantage of an error in the second to give Carroll a 1-0 lead. The RoughRiders pushed their lead to 2-0 in the fourth when Joe Jackson singled, moved to third on an Andy Ibanez double and scored on a Jerry Keel wild pitch.

San Antonio plated its only run off Carroll in the sixth when Rocky Gale followed a Franchy Cordero leadoff triple with an RBI-groundout.

The RoughRiders upped their lead back to two in the seventh, plating another unearned run off Keel, who was making his Double-A debut. Keel was very impressive in six and a third innings, allowing just one earned run on six hits and two walks, while fanning four.

Keel avoided a hard-luck loss in the eighth when the San Antonio bats came alive against the Frisco pen. Cordero began the rally with an infield single and would move all the way to third when reliever Jefri Hernandez uncorked a wild pitch. Gale once again sliced the deficit to one when he followed with a double to right. Josh VanMeter kept the rally going with a single that moved Gale to third. After Joe Filomeno relieved Hernandez, Nick Schulz tied the game at three with a single to center. Gabriel Quintana singled to load the bases as the Missions looked poised to take the game over. However, Filomeno came up huge, retiring each of the next three batters to keep the game tied.

The game remained tied until the 10th when the Missions broke through against David Perez. Quintana got things started by getting hit by a pitch. After Perez (1-6) retired Trae Santos, Taylor Lindsey worked a walk. A passed ball charged to catcher Isiah Kiner-Falefa moved the runners up a base. That brought up Tejada, who lifted a fly ball to center, deep enough to plate Quintana and give San Antonio its 12th walk-off win of the season.

T.J Weir (3-4) earned the win in relief with a scoreless top of the 10th.

San Antonio (32-27, 54-75) wraps up its four-game series with Frisco (22-37, 60-68) Friday at 7:05 PM on Security Service Federal Credit Union's Shirt Off Our Back Night. Twenty luck fans will win a game-worn Missions jersey of one of their favorite players. Lefty Tim Berry (1-3, 8.33) will get the ball for San Antonio, while Frisco counters with right-hander Connor Sadzeck (9-7, 4.40).
