Late Rally Gets 11-9 Win for Missions
Behind a fine performance from Marco Ontiveros, the San Antonio Missions knocked off the Springfield Cardinals in 10 innings, 11-9. Ontiveros went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Missions. The winner in relief was Josh Morse. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 5-2. San Antonio is first in the South Division with a record of 75-40.

Todd Jones came through with a big-time hit for San Antonio. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 11-9. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Hitting is contagious. And when you have a lineup that's going to throw out competitive at-bats one through nine, it makes you want to join in," said Jones.
