Missions Earn Late Win
Though he had a stellar game, Jon Kunkel could not prevent his team, the Springfield Cardinals, from losing, 7-6, to the San Antonio Missions. Kunkel was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. The first-place Missions have a record of 77-44.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ryan Giardina in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 25-year old left-handed pitcher Cesar Garza to win the game for San Antonio. The home crowd went nuts.

"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Giardina said.
