The Wichita WInd Surge (1-2) fell 6-0 to the Midland RockHounds (2-1) on Thursday night at Momentum Bank Ballpark. Four Midland pitchers, led by starter Jamie Arnold, combined for a three-hit shutout while offensively the RockHounds pounded out 16 hits, including three homers, on their way to victory.

THE RUNDOWN:

Midland was held off the board in an unorthodox bottom of the second inning that featured two outs on the basepaths for the home team. Ryan Lasko was called out for missing third base one batter later Davis Diaz was hit by a batted ball.

Midland broke the ice in the bottom of the third on a solo home run by Cole Conn, his fifth of the season off Wichita starter Sam Armstrong.

Marek Houston led off the fourth with a double for Wichita, his first extra base hit at the AA level. Khadim Diaw followed with a walk, but Jamie Arnold retired the next three to hold Wichita off the board.

Ryan Lasko led off the fourth with his sixth homer of the year to double the Rockhound advantage.

Midland got two more runners in scoring position against Paulshawn Pasquolotto in the fifth, but he struck out Lasko to keep the RockHounds off the board.

The hosts added four insurance runs across their final three at bats, highlighted by a 475 foot homer by Bobby Boser off of Jacob Webb.

Stevie Emmanuels worked a scoreless ninth to close out the win for Midland.
