Second baseman Zack Gelof’s home run helped the RockHounds take their second straight from San Antonio on Wednesday. Gelof led off the bottom of the 8th inning by belting a solo shot to break a 2-2 tie and provide the margin of victory for Midland. Last year’s 2nd-round draft pick for the A’s has gone 5 for 12 over his last 3 games and is now batting .311 for the Hounds. Left fielder Sahid Valenzuela doubled in the tying run with two outs in the 7th, while designated hitter JJ Schwarz and shortstop Logan Davidson had a pair of hits apiece for the Hounds. Starter Hogan Harris was charged with 2 runs in 3 1/3 innings of work, while RHP Matt Milburn tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief, and RHP Charles Hall got the final four outs for the RockHounds to record the win.
