Through a league-leading 39.0 innings, he allowed just three earned runs on 27 hits and four walks, while striking out 28 batters. Pearce finished the month with consecutive nine-inning complete game performances, including a complete game shutout of the San Antonio Missions on May 26.

He currently leads the Texas League with two complete games, while ranking 3rd in ERA, 2nd in WHIP (0.97), t-4th in wins and 2nd in innings pitched (65.2). In his first full Double-A season, Pearce was selected by St. Louis in the 13th round of the 2014 June Draft out of Polk State College in Florida.
