The San Antonio Missions concluded their final homestand with a mixed performance against the Midland RockHounds, splitting the series 3-3 after struggling during their recent road trip. The team rebounded strongly at Wolff Stadium, particularly in the opening games, before faltering down the stretch. Despite the inconsistent results, the week showcased promising offensive production for the Triple-A affiliate.
Outfielder Braedon Karpathios earned Texas League Player of the Week honors following a dominant performance that helped spark the Missions’ early-week success. The slugger recorded 14 hits in 22 at-bats with 13 RBIs, including two home runs and three doubles during the series. Karpathios extended his hitting streak to eight games and has now accumulated 73 RBIs and 17 home runs this season, the most for a San Antonio player since 2019. Manager Chris Tremie credited Karpathios’s disciplined approach at the plate and consistent execution of his hitting plan.
San Antonio’s offensive firepower extended beyond Karpathios, with teammates Albert Fabian, Tirso Ornelas, and Anthony Vilar also contributing significantly. The trio combined for multiple home runs across the series, including a three-run blast from Ornelas during Wednesday’s 13-5 victory. The Missions’ most thrilling moment came Friday when they rallied from a five-run deficit to defeat Midland 8-7 in front of home fans.
With playoff contention eliminated, the Missions begin their final six-game stretch Tuesday in Amarillo, looking to finish the season on a positive note.
