Omaha starter Arnaldo Hernandez, who came in with a 10.58 ERA, dazzled with six scoreless innings allowing three singles. He improves to 3-2 on the season. Lefty Tim Hill pitched a scoreless inning of relief, but Andres Machado allowed two earned runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
The Missions scored both of their runs in the bottom of the seventh inning thanks to an RBI single from Michael O'Neill and a sacrifice fly from Travis Shaw. In the ninth inning, the put three different runners on base but failed to bring any of them in.
