Daily Farm Round-Up: 5-9-13
Led by starting pitcher Max Fried, the Fort Wayne pitching staff no-hit the Loons in their 1-0 victory. Poor starting pitching performances from both Eddie Bonine of the T-Pads and Colin Rea of the Storm led their losses. On the other hand, the starting pitcher for San Antonio, Matt Andriese, was effective yet again. Even though the Missions only scored 2 runs they were able to win the game due to very strong pitching.
