The Double-A Midland RockHounds are heating up after a mediocre start to the year. They’ve won nine of their last 10 games and now hold the best record in the whole Texas League at 20-14. If they can hang on long enough to capture the season’s first-half division title then they can wrap up their playoff berth early and ensure a chance to compete for their fourth straight league title.
One key to Midland’s success is that their offense is by far the best in the league right now, by nearly a full run per game over second place.
