Midland took a 5-3 lead after sending nine men to bat in a four-run third.
Ryan Wrobleski made it a one-run contest with a two-out RBI single in the home half of the frame.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Torres and Anderson Bido teamed to hold Midland to two base runners over 4 1/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
The effort allowed Bryan Lavastida, now riding a six-game hit streak, to even the score at 5 with a two-out solo blast in the sixth.
