The 2013 Minor League Baseball season is officially underway. Unfortunately, someone forgot to inform the Tulsa Drillers.

Six different players scored as the San Antonio Missions clobbered Tulsa 7-1 Thursday night in Texas. Donn Roach pitched five innings of shutout ball to earn the win, while the Missions' staff held the Drillers to just three hits on the night.

Dan Houston allowed two runs in five innings and took the loss for Tulsa. Kent Matthes knocked in the Drillers' only run of the night with an RBI double in the ninth inning.

The Drillers committed three errors in the losing effort, but will have a chance to bounce back against San Antonio Friday night.
