The surge started with Yonathan Perlaza’s single and Tirso Ornelas’ walk, followed by Nate Mondou’s sacrifice bunt, Mason McCoy’s sacrifice fly, and Rodolfo Durán’s RBI double. Clay Dungan added a run-scoring single before Wagner’s three-run two-bagger capped the frame.

The Chihuahuas kept pressing in the sixth. Tim Locastro and Wade reached, then executed a double steal to set up Ornelas’ sacrifice fly. Mondou doubled in Wade, McCoy lined an RBI single that also brought in Mondou, and Durán crushed a two-run homer to left. Locastro finished with a hit, a walk, and a steal, while Mondou doubled and walked.

Gómez’s Extra-Inning Sacrifice Fly Lifts Missions, Pinales Shines In Six Scoreless
Box Score

San Antonio edged Amarillo, 1-0, in 10 innings at Nelson Wolff Stadium, winning it on a ball lifted to right from Moisés Gómez. With the automatic runner at second to begin the tenth, Damon Dues pinch-ran, moved to third after a strikeout and two free passes, then tagged and scored on Gómez’s sacrifice fly for the walk-off winner.

The Missions’ pitching set the stage. Starter Enmanuel Pinales delivered six scoreless frames, allowing five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Stephen Jones followed with a quiet seventh that included a strikeout, and Misael Tamarez kept Amarillo off the board with two scoreless innings and two strikeouts. Ethan Routzahn worked a scoreless tenth with one strikeout to secure the victory.

San Antonio’s offense scattered only three hits all game. Braedon Karpathios singled in the sixth, Anthony Vilar added a knock in the eighth, and Francisco Acuna led off the ninth with a single before a double play stalled that threat. In extras, the Missions capitalized on situational opportunities, loading the bases before Gómez brought home Dues for the decisive run.

Lake County answered with five in the third, using a run-scoring single, a throwing miscue, and a three-run homer to flip the game.
