It was a rough night for San Antonio starting pitcher Josh Geer, who let up 5 ER in 5 IP and took the loss, now putting him at (2-6).  Five different players for the Roughriders knocked in runs, and starting pitcher Luke Jackson pitched six scoreless innings with 4 Ks en route to his 7th win of the season. 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. Austin Hedges went 0-4 at the dish dropping his average to .254, but did throw out a base runner

The Missions will square off against the Roughriders again tomorrow where John Hussey (1-3, 3.54) will look to win the rubber match for San Antonio against Ryan Bores (1-3, 3.57).

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 13th inning for the Storm. The Nuts jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the 5th 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 8th, 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 16th 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.
