Current San Antonio staff
The San Antonio Missions won their game against the Midland Rock Hounds on Tuesday, 8-2.
San Antonio’s minor league baseball team boarded the “Hawk Tua” train on Tuesday.
Well, briefly anyway.
On Tuesday against the Midland Rockhounds at Nelson Wolff Stadium, Missions shortstop Ray Patrick Dider smashed a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning to put San Antonio up 3-0. The Aruba native’s impressive hit got someone on the Missions’ social media team so excited they uttered a rather vulgar catchphrase that has been a popular social media hit of the week:
“Hawk tow,” the mission’s official X account tweeted. Tan That’s unexpected.”
The post garnered more than 5,000 views and 32 reposts before being taken down that evening.
“The Mission is not on trend,” MySA Hill Country reporter Gabriel Romero responded with a retweet.

For those of you who aren’t usually online, social media was abuzz this week over a viral street interview posted by Tennessee-based content creators Tim D and Dearius Marlow. In the video, Marlow asks two women, “What do you do in bed that always turns your man on?”
“Oh, I gotta give him the ‘Hawk Tua’ sing-along,” replied a woman who was later identified as Nashville native Hayley Welch.
“Spit on that part, OK?” Welch continues, laughing hysterically.
In case it wasn’t already clear, Welch was referring to fellatio.
Even if the Missions ducked out and deleted the “Hawk Tua” tweet, there’s no denying the team was on a roll on Tuesday, as San Antonio defeated the Rockhounds, 8-2.
The Missions will face the RockHounds again on Wednesday at Nelson Wolff Stadium at 7 p.m.
