Big Ninth Inning Lifts Drillers Over San Antonio

The Tulsa Drillers staged a three-run rally in the top of the ninth inning to steal a 4-2 win over the San Antonio Missions Thursday night in the Alamo City.

The Missions went ahead, 2-1, in the bottom of the eighth inning on an RBI single from Yeison Asencio.

Tulsa started the ninth with back-to-back singles. Delta Cleary attempted a sacrifice bunt, but an error by San Antonio pitcher Chris Rearick allowed Cleary to reach second base, scoring Jayson Langfels and moving Kyle Parker to third.

After a groundout, Tyler Kuhn doubled to score Parker and Cleary.

Juan Gonzalez picked up the win for the Drillers while Cole White worked the ninth for his seventh save of the season.

Matt Lollis took the loss for San Antonio while Chris Rearick was credited with the blown save.

The two teams are back in action Friday night at 7:05 p.m.
