Slumping RockHounds Lose Again
Another game, another loss for the struggling Midland RockHounds.

Northwest Arkansas Naturals starter Hector Botello pitched a strong game against the Midland RockHounds at Arvest Ballpark, leading the Naturals to victory, 4-3. In 7 innings, Botello surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed 3 runs.

Had Brian Pyle not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Pyle hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Naturals.

"I'm happy we won," said Botello. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."

Northwest Arkansas is now 56-57.
