The Chihuahuas game against Sugar Land was suspended in the fourth inning due to rain. The Chihuahuas were down big time, 7-1, at the time of the suspension. Daniel Camarena— who was just with the Padres on Tuesday night– got the start and went just 1/3 of an inning, giving up a pair of hits and a pair of runs.

Michael Curry– (1-4for-) single, RBI
The Missions shut down the RockHounds on Wednesday night. Pedro Avila got the start and tossed four solid innings, giving up just a run on two hits. After that, the combination of Sam McWilliams, Nick Kuzia, Tom Cosgrove, and Jose Quezada combined to throw five hitless innings. They walked three and totaled eight punchouts.
The Missions scored a run in the bottom of the first, then another in the bottom of the third to take the lead and held all the way through. This game had a grand total of eight hits from both teams–six of those from the Missions– and the San Antonio pitching was too much for the RockHounds.
Allen Cordoba continues to hit the cover off the baseball, adding half of the Missions’ hits to extend his personal streak to 11 games.
