Victoria, TX – July 23, 2018 – The Texarkana Twins will make the trip home riding a wave of momentum after splitting a road series against the league’s second place team, Victoria Generals.

The Generals scored the games next four runs to narrow the lead to 5-4 by the end of the 5th inning.

The Twins would yet again explode for four runs in the 6th, as Nigel Smith cleared the bases with a double then was driven in on a single from Cam Hill to push the lead to 9-4. The Twins would keep up the offense after Victoria scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 6th, scoring 5 more runs in the 7th. Peyton Faulkner and Jalynn Keys both provided the Twins with RBI singles, followed by a two run double from Cam Hill and a sac fly from Hunter Southerland. The Generals would again respond with two runs to make the score 14-8. The final runs came in the ninth when both teams scored a pair, the Twins runs coming from a two run home run from Coltyn Kessler.
