Midland Nerve Tested in 8-7 Win
The Midland RockHounds besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Rocket City catcher Kent Homaa by beating the Trash Pandas, 8-7, at Security Bank Ballpark. Homaa went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Midland has won 4 consecutive games.

Billy Sylvis was the walk-off hero for Midland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the RockHounds first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We didn't play well enough to win," Rocket City skipper Alex Salcedo said.
