Chihuahuas starter Matt Waldron didn’t allow a hit until two outs in the sixth inning. The knuckleballer needed only 76 pitches to throw six innings as he picked up his first win on the season. Rangel Ravelo, Matthew Batten, and Taylor Kohlwey all homered for the Chihuahuas.

San Antonio Missions (Beat Amarillo Sod Poodles 4-3) (21-20 on the season)

Nolan Watson: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K (81 pitches, 58 strikes)

Korry Howell: (2-for-3), 3 R, 2B, BB

Chandler Seagle: (2-for-3), RBI

Cole Cummings: (2-for-2), 2B, RBI, BB

Ripken Reyes: (1-for-4), GW RBI

Nolan Watson made his appearance of the year on Wednesday night. The right-hander was relatively efficient on the day. Amarillo took advantage of a balk and scored an early first-inning run. They got to him again in the fourth on a solo shot from former first-round draft pick Seth Beer.

Despite scoring 14 the previous night, the Missions bats were quite cold for most of the game. Heading into the bottom of the ninth down 3-2, Korry Howell and Juan Fernandez opened the inning with singles followed by an intentional walk to load the bases, still with no outs. After a pinch-hit sac fly from Michael De La Cruz, Ripken Reyes ripped a single to right field to send San Antonio fans home happy. The win also raised the team’s winning percentage back over .500.

Jagger Haynes, fresh off of TJ surgery, made the best outing of his pro career thus far on Wednesday night.

The lefty lowered his ERA to 3.38 on the season before turning it over to Manuel Castro.

Quakes starter Chris Campos loaded the bases to begin the third inning with two walks and a bunt single before walking in a run. Graham Pauley singled in two in the next at-bat. A sac fly from Albert Fabian and a double from Griffin Doersching made it 5-0, ending Campos day. The Storm would score three more in the fourth inning to open up an 8-0 lead. The Quakes scored a run in the seventh and eighth innings.
