RockHounds 9, Travelers 2
A fifth-inning eruption from the RockHounds did the Travs in Wednesday night at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock.
Midland had taken a 3-0 lead through four innings on a Shane McGuire RBI single, a groundout and a sacrifice fly, but broke things open on Greg Deichmann's grand slam off starter Emerson Hancock. Jeremy Eierman followed five pitches later with a solo homer to make it 8-0, ending Hancock's night.
Logan Warmoth hit a solo home run for the Travs in the bottom of the fifth, but it was the only run they'd score until Josh Morgan's run-scoring double play in the eighth.
