Luis Campusano set the tone in the first, blasting a two-run homer to left center after Yonathan Perlaza drew a walk. El Paso then flipped the game with a seven-run third. Mason McCoy walked, stole second, and advanced on a wild pitch, then scored on another wild pitch. After Trenton Brooks walked, Rodolfo Durán crushed a grand slam to center. Tim Locastro followed with a single, Mike Brosseau doubled him home, Clay Dungan walked, and McCoy lined an RBI single to left for a 9–4 cushion.

The lineup kept adding on. Perlaza doubled to left in the fifth to plate Dungan, who had reached on a fielder’s choice and stolen second. In the sixth, Durán added a towering solo shot to center, his second homer of the night. Brosseau chipped in with a single and later swiped second, while McCoy collected another single. Ripken Reyes singled to center in the fifth.

El Paso’s defense supplied key moments; in the third, the infield turned a sharp 6-4-3 double play to end the rally. In the seventh, Campusano erased a baserunner at second with a pickoff to shortstop McCoy. Wes Benjamin started, Omar Cruz took over in the fifth and got the inning’s final outs, and Kyle Hart handled the late frames to close out the win.

Sanabria’s Sac Fly, Castañon’s RBI Single Highlight Late Missions Push in 6–2 Loss
Box Score

San Antonio threatened early but could not break through until the eighth, then pieced together a late two-run rally. Francisco Acuna ripped a two-out double in the first, and Anthony Vilar doubled in the second and moved to third on a wild pitch, but both chances came up empty. In the fourth, Albert Fabian and Vilar produced back-to-back singles, only for the inning to stall.

The visitors broke a scoreless game in the sixth on two errors, then added four in the eighth. Miguel Mendez started and kept the game even through five, Austin Krob worked the seventh and opened the eighth, and Ethan Routzahn took the ball to finish the night.

The Missions finally cashed in during the bottom of the eighth. Devin Ortiz was hit by a pitch, Moisés Gómez followed with a single, and a passed ball moved both ahead. Romeo Sanabria lifted a sacrifice fly in foul territory near first to score Ortiz, and Marcos Castañon lined an RBI single to right to bring home Gómez. Wyatt Hoffman recorded the final out of the top of the ninth in center, but San Antonio went quietly in the bottom half.

Manager Luke Montz was ejected in the fourth.

Fort Wayne jumped on the board immediately. Ryan Jackson singled to center, Braedon Karpathios doubled to left, and Rosman Verdugo reached on an error that brought Jackson home. The TinCaps broke it open in the third. After Jackson singled and Karpathios walked, Jack Costello crushed a three-run homer to left, then Sean Barnett followed with a double.

Kai Roberts added on in the fourth with a solo shot to left center. In the seventh, Fort Wayne manufactured another run after Karpathios and Verdugo drew walks, but Verdugo was erased on a double play. Costello was hit by a pitch, then swiped second, and Karpathios scored on a misplay in the infield. The TinCaps put it out of reach in the eighth when Valentine and Roberts worked walks ahead of Karpathios, who drove a two-run double down the left-field line.

Sam Whiting started and handed off a lead to the bullpen. Ruben Galindo took over in the fifth, Harry Gustin handled the seventh, and Luis Germán closed the ninth.

Karpathios delivered two doubles and reached five times, Jackson tallied two early singles and a walk, and Costello’s power set the tone for a clean road win at Four Winds Field.
