| Rangers Come Back Late to Clip Pioneers | Houston right-hander Sean Mikkelsen pitched his team to victory over the San Francisco Pioneers at Pioneers Park. The final score was 4-3. Mikkelsen, the winner, moves to 5-1. He threw 7.1 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 3 walks. Al Reyes, who is rated as the 5th best prospect by BNN, earned the save for Houston.
Had Jim Racine not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Racine hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Rangers.
"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Mikkelsen.
The win elevated the Rangers to 18-13. | | | | |
