The Missions’ offense failed to show up on Sunday afternoon, scoring only a pair of runs in the eighth inning and nothing else throughout the ballgame. At the time that San Antonio scored, Midland was already up 4-0. The Missions’ runs came on a two-run single by Domingo Leyba, but they could not catch up to the RockHounds and ended up falling 5-2.

The TinCaps got off to an early lead thanks to a Lucas Dunn RBI single in the first inning but never held the lead again. West Michigan scored a pair of runs in the bottom half of the first inning to take a 2-1 lead and, from there, poured on the runs against Fort Wayne. The Whitecaps went on to score four times in the bottom of the second and six times in the bottom of the third to lead 12-1 after three innings. Fort Wayne struggled, failed to come close to catching up with West Michigan, and went on to lose by nine runs, 13-4.

The Storm gave up runs in five straight innings and, without any offense, were doomed from the third inning when they allowed a pair of runs.
