Naturals Get Past Midland, 8-7
Behind the hitting of Ken Hodge, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals stopped the Midland RockHounds, 8-7. Hodge was 4-5 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Naturals. Leonardo González earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. He upped his record to 3-3. The third-place Naturals have won 5 straight games.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Northwest Arkansas third baseman Steve bin Hakem, facing Yajirobei Hirayama, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Naturals the 8-7 win.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Hodge.
