5-Hit Game for Herrera
All game long, Midland's Pepe Herrera was rattling the walls at Security Bank Ballpark and banging out base hits against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. When the dust finally settled on the diamond, he had a 5-hit day and the RockHounds had a win, 19-1.

Speaking with reporters after his standout performance, the 24-year-old third baseman said, "Get 5 hits, win a ballgame, it's nice. I could get used to this."

Pepe Herrera hit a two-run single in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.
