Arkansas Travelers News Release
Midland, TX - The Midland RockHounds scored seven times in the seventh inning and six more in the eighth to rally past the Arkansas Travelers by a 15-8 final score on Saturday night. It was the second this week that the Travs bullpen failed to hold a big late lead. Isiah Gilliam had a three-hit game for Arkansas including his 20th home run of the season while Spencer Packard contributed another two hits.
Moments That Mattered
* Jack Winkler hit a two-run game-tying triple in the seventh. Sahid Valenzuela then followed with a two-run home run to put Midland on top.
* Arkansas got one in the eighth on a two out RBI hit from Packard but a strikeout ended the threat and stranded the tying and go-ahead runs on base.
Notable Travs Performances
* DH Isiah Gilliam: 3-5, 2 runs, 2B, HR, 2 RBI
* LF Spencer Packard: 3-5, run, RBI
News and Notes

* Gilliam secured a 20/20 season with home runs and stolen bases. It is the second straight year for a Trav to go 20/20 after Cade Marlowe did it last season.
