Cody Overbeck went 2-4 and hit his first double of the season, but there was not a lot of other excitement for the Missions’ offense. They were held to a meager five hits, while being shut out.

High-A

The Lake Elsinore Storm defeated the Modesto Nuts 9-7 in 13 innings.

It was a Gabriel Quintana hit-by-pitch that forced in the game-winning run in the top of the 13^th inning for the Storm. The Nuts jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the 5^th inning in big part due to home runs from Patrick Valaika and Jordan Ribera, who both knocked in two runs. Lake Elsinore fired back in the top of the 8^th, where Quintana blasted a two-run homer, sparking a five run rally to tie the game. Bryce Morrow got roughed up, allowing 7 ER in 5 IP, but was let of the hook. Trevor Gott notched his 16^th save of the game, striking out two of three batters.

Lake Elsinore finishes up their series at Modesto Thursday. The Storm will give the nod to Bryan Rodriguez (0-4, 3.61), while Modesto will turn to Ryan Kulik (2-1, 3.93).  First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PT.
