The Northwest Arkansas Naturals picked up a win at Hammons Field, downing the Springfield Cardinals, 2-1. On the mound for Northwest Arkansas was right-hander Duane Bradley, who played a pivotal role in the win. In 8 innings, Bradley surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 4. He allowed 1 run. Del Jacobs finished the game for Northwest Arkansas and earned his 5th save.

Northwest Arkansas needed the clutch hitting of Gilberto Encarnación to seal the deal. The second baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Naturals on top, 2-1. For the game, Encarnación had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I had everything working," said Bradley.
