_ Fourth Straight Loss in Midland_

SAN ANTONIO – The RockHounds scored three runs over the first two innings against San Antonio on Friday night. The Missions fall 6-1 and have now lost four in a row.

The RockHounds loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning and took an early lead as two of those three runners came around to score. Tyler Ramirez had an RBI ground out while Kyle McCann drove in a run with an RBI single.

Midland tacked on another run in the second inning. Following a double, a walk, and a wild pitch, an error from third baseman Kyle Overstreet allowed a run to score. After two innings, it was 3-0 Midland.

RockHounds’ starter Chase Cohen was pulled after three shutout innings. The Missions were able to get a run across in the fourth inning against new pitcher Brett Graves. Overstreet and Brad Zunica started things off with singles. Overstreet came around to score on an RBI single from Esteury Ruiz. The Missions trailed 3-1.

Midland added an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth inning. McCann drove in his second run of the game, this time on an RBI double. The RockHounds would have scored at least one more run, but CJ Abrams made a diving play to save a run from scoring.

Midland improved their lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Following a triple from Nick Allen, he scored off an RBI double from Ramirez. An RBI double in the eighth inning from Logan Davidson extended the lead to 6-1 for Midland.
