The Missions only managed two hits on Friday, and that did not cut it. San Antonio lost 2-1 in 10 innings despite the fact that Austin Krob pitched well. The 24-year-old lefty struck out ten batters on the night and now owns a 4.46 ERA on the season. Krob is showing well in the Texas League and could be a factor for the Padres rotation very soon.
Ripken Reyes provided some heroics for the Missions as he homered in the 9th inning to tie the game. Robbie Tenerowicz went 1-for-3 in the loss, and that was for the Missions. The team struck out 12 times as a team and were 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. Robert Perez Jr. went 0-for-4 with three K’s in the game.
