RockHounds Top Naturals in Round 2 Monday, September 23rd , 2024 Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better. It was the latter case in 2024, as the Midland RockHounds topped the Northwest Arkansas Naturals 8-6 tonight at Arvest Ballpark to win the Round 2. It was the 1st title in franchise history. "When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Midland first baseman Ryan [UNRATED] McBroom, who was named series MVP. The RockHounds took the series 3-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the South Division and a 83-57 record. Midland manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on McBroom's words. "Ryan [UNRATED] said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said. Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come. |
