Fonseca Now 1-0 After Subduing Naturals
The Midland RockHounds got a rain-soaked win over the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.

Midland pitcher Raúl Fonseca had a large part in his team subduing the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 4-1. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Northwest Arkansas now has a record of 3-6.

Fonseca was dominant for Midland. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit, while racking up 9 strikeouts. He threw 110 pitches over 7.1 innings in the contest.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Midland manager Basilio Cabrera. "It's usually not just one thing."
