Triple-A

San Antonio Missions (8-7) vs. Nashville Sounds (4-11)

The Missions split the double header this afternoon, losing 3-1 in game one and took game two

In game one the offense didn’t get going til the fifth when Mauricio Dubon doubled in Nate Orf to score San Antonio’s only run.

Zack Brown went five innings, striking out seven, but gave up all three Nashville runs to pick up the loss.

The Missions responded nicely in game two as they got the offense going in the second inning when the first four hitters reached base. After Orf was hit by a pitch to score the second run, Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Keston Hiura had a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. Tyrone Taylor added salt to the wound when he singled in Tuffy Gosewisch making it 4-0.

Gosewisch kept the scoring going in the third when he singled in Lucas Erceg. Gosewisch went 1-for-2 as the DH.

Jake Hager added a solo home run in the seventh inning, his first home run of the season.

Hiura was the only Missions player with multiple hits including a double off Tim Dillard.

Thomas Jankins went five scoreless, allowing just one hit. Josh Fields looked good in his one inning and Taylor Williams continued on his road to redemption as he pitched a scoreless seven.
