Following a Shane McGuire lead-off home run in the Midland fourth, the Hooks pulled ahead with a pair in the fifth. Trevor Austin notched a lead-off single into center and promptly came around to score on a double by Logan Cerny.
Cerny, who doubled twice while working a walk as part of a three-hit day, scored on the play as catcher McGuire sailed a throw down the left-field line as Cerny was taking an extra base.
