RockHounds Topple Travelers, 10-9, as Gates Shines
In a high-scoring game between Midland and Arkansas, designated hitter Dan Gates was a difference-maker. The 23-year-old helped Midland grab the 10-9 win. He was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 runs and drove in 4. Casey Martinez snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-1 on the season. Ryan Moutoux suffered the loss. Ernie Stokes recorded the save for Midland, his 1st of the season.

Had Oscar Alvarez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Alvarez hit a 2-run single. That made the score 10-9, in favor of the RockHounds.

"Ugly win or not, we'll take it," said Alvarez.

The defeat makes Arkansas 4-3.
