Tacoma's home opener last night was rained out, so they'll play two on Sunday. Dan Reichert will take the hill tonight at 9:05pm EDT.
San Antonio fell to Midland, 7-2. It was a close game until the Rockhounds put up four runs against Sean Green in the bottom of the eighth. Jesse Hoorelbeke hit a solo home run, but the Missions couldn't manage much offense to support Tom Oldham. Nick Bourgeois will start tonight's game at 8:30. Notables:
Oldham: 6 IP, 9 H, 3 R (2 ER), 1 K
