RockHounds Need Extra Frames to Get Past Naturals
Northwest Arkansas got a terrific game from catcher Troy Lynch. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Midland, 5-4. Lynch was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Cecil Black picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Alvin Tigner was tagged with the loss. Midland, now 7-2, is playing great baseball to start the year.

Midland used the timely hitting of Jonathan Arnold to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the RockHounds on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a test of wills," said Dave Berg, the Midland skipper. "I'm glad we came out of it with a win."
