Midland, TX—A four-run 10th inning was enough for the Arkansas Travelers to pull away from the Midland RockHounds in a 9-6 extra inning victory on Thursday night. Aaron McKeithan had three hits and drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th. Jared Sundstrom drove in three runs including a two-run home run, his 10th of the season. The Travs were in a position to win because of a strong start from Nico Tellache who surrendered just two runs (one earned) over seven innings while scattering five hits and striking out six.
