San Antonio native Bryan Arias started the scoring for the Hooks, belting a three-run home run to center field in the second.

The Missions rallied for a 3-1 win in the nightcap as CC settled for a 5-1 week. SA, down to its final four outs washed away a 1-0 deficit by scoring three times in the sixth against Jonathan Sprinkle. Yorman Rodriguez hit his second home run of the series, a two-run shot to left-center.

The Missions comeback spoiled a fine start by Spencer Arrighetti, who struck out four against three hits over 5.0 shutout innings.
