MIDLAND, Texas. - For the second straight night the Naturals put together a ninth-inning rally only to fall one hit and one run short of a tie as the Midland RockHounds completed the sweep of Northwest Arkansas with a 9-8 final on Tuesday night from Security Bank Ballpark.

Northwest Arkansas (44-38/4-8) blew the game open in the second inning off RockHounds' starter Jake Sanchez plating five runs on five hits in the frame. Raul Mondesi's two-run double and Parker Morin's run scoring two-bagger highlighted the inning for the Naturals.

Midland chipped away getting two back in the second and third run in the fourth off right-hander Miguel Almonte who went 4.0 innings allowing three runs on five hits with three strikeouts in a no-decision effort.

Terrance Gore stayed hot at the plate driving in his 11th RBI of the season in the sixth inning to extend the Naturals advantage to 6-3. Gore finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base and is now 7-for-8 with two RBI and three stolen bags over his last two games.

Midland scored five runs of their own in the bottom half of the sixth inning off J.C. Sulbaran (4-7, 5.15) which proved to be enough to hold on for the 9-8 win.
