Midland became the first team in 92 years to win four straight Texas League championships, getting an RBI single from Viosergy Rosa and six strong innings from James Naile.
Tulsa's Matt Beaty was named MVP and Springfield's Dakota Hudson was voted the top pitcher as the Texas League announced its end-of-season awards for 2017.

It's been 10 years since a line drive struck and killed Tulsa coach Mike Coolbaugh, who continues to be remembered in myriad ways across the Texas League and the entire baseball world.
