The Missions took a quick lead in Saturday night’s game, scoring in the top of the first inning, and kept that momentum going as they defeated Wichita 4-2 on Saturday. The pitching was stellar for the Missions, including four scoreless innings from the San Antonio bullpen and six combined strikeouts. Offensively, Milone and Rodriguez picked up a pair of hits each and led the offense for the Missions.

Fort Wayne fell behind early, allowing three runs in the first inning and trailing 3-1 after the first. The TinCaps rallied to take a 4-3 lead after a two-run fifth inning but then allowed a pair of runs to Great Lakes in both the sixth and seventh innings, giving the Loons the lead that they would hold on to the remainder of the game, winning 7-5 over Fort Wayne.
