The minor league playoffs continued on Friday, with the Double-A Midland RockHounds needing a win to keep their postseason alive. They entered down 2-0 in the best-of-5 Texas League Championship Series, but managed to beat former A’s star Brandon McCarthy to force a fourth game on Saturday. They still need to win two more on the road to earn their 4-peat title, but if anyone can pull it off its these magical Hounds.
