RockHounds Deal Naturals 6-5 Defeat
Northwest Arkansas designated hitter Matt McCormick was sensational. He went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Midland beat the Naturals, 6-5. Midland reliever Paul Little got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Taylor Dollard was tagged with the loss. Northwest Arkansas has now lost 4 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Wyatt Weathersby? The Midland third baseman had a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put the RockHounds on top, 4-0. For the game, Weathersby had 1 double and 2 singles in 3 at-bats.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Midland manager Dave Berg.
