He was not on the lineup card. Alpine manager Ryan Stevens protested that Mark Gomez was not on the lineup card despite pitching the entire 7th inning for Roswell. "Manager Simon Walters either didn't know the rules or tried to be slick. Simon thinks he is smarter than everyone and rules don't apply" says Plate umpire Jared Palladino who ruled the game was a forfeit. This is the first forfeit in the history of the Pecos League. The two teams played the 2nd game of a doubleheader.
