MIDLAND, TX – The Northwest Arkansas Naturals scored in each of the first seven innings, putting at least one run across in eight of nine frames, with the team’s fourth straight win, an 11-3 victory over the Midland RockHounds.

Wednesday night’s game marked just the second time in club history that the Naturals scored a run in seven straight innings, the first time coming three games prior on Saturday in North Little Rock against the Arkansas Travelers.

Nine different Naturals recorded hits and scored a run, including eight of the starters in the order, while Brhet Bewley came in off the bench and went 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored.

Michael Massey started the scoring in the first inning, singling home Maikel Garcia, his first of two hits and two RBI in the game. In the second, Seuly Matias connected on a solo home run, his sixth homer of the season, then Jake Means doubled in Logan Porter, his second straight game with a double.

In the third inning, Nate Eaton plated Massey on a sacrifice fly, then Garcia brought around Porter on a single in the fourth.

Eaton connected on his fourth home run of the season in the fifth, a solo shot to left field, then Massey scored Tucker Bradley on a sacrifice fly in the sixth, after Bradley opened the inning with his team-leading third triple of the year.

In the seventh inning, Porter produced his second hit of the day, a single that scored Bewley from second base. Then despite not scoring in the eighth, the Naturals pushed ahead in the ninth inning and added three more runs, with runs batted in from Means on a fielders’ choice and a single from Bradley.

Alec Marsh earned his first win of the season, pitching 5.0 innings for the second consecutive start, also striking out 10 for the second week in a row, while allowing just two runs on four hits and one walk.

Holden Capps allowed one run in 1.0 inning of work, then Jonah Dipoto pitched 2.0 scoreless innings while striking out four, three of which came in the seventh inning when he stranded the bases loaded. Walter Pennington pitched a scoreless ninth inning, stranding two runners on as the Naturals extended their winning streak to a season-best four games in a row.

Back at .500, a 20-20 record through 40 games, Northwest Arkansas will look to win its fifth straight Thursday at 7:00 p.m. CT from Momentum Bank Ballpark, as Drew Parrish will take the mound for his ninth start of the year.
