Travs Fall in Extras to Missions

San Antonio, TX-Playing the first extra inning game in the Texas League with the new rules implemented for 2018, the Arkansas Travelers fell to the San Antonio Missions, 3-2 in 10 innings on Thursday night. Both teams led in the game but San Antonio held the Travs off the board in the top of the 10^th inning before scoring their free runner from second without the aid of a base hit in the bottom of the 10^th. Josh Naylor hit two homers for the Missions including what was scored as an inside-the-park homerun in the 1^st inning. Naylor now has a pair of two-homer games against the Travs already this season. The teams combined to go 1-20 with runners in scoring position on the night. Chase De Jong delivered a quality start but did not factor in the decision for the Travs.
