Arkansas right fielder Cisco Cruz was instrumental in helping the Travelers triumph, 6-1, over the Midland RockHounds. Cruz was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The triumph puts Arkansas at 31-18 for the season.

The Travelers got a big at-bat from second baseman William Watts. For the game, Watts was 1 for 5 with a double. He drove in 2 runs. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 9th double of the season gave Arkansas a 2-1 lead.

Said losing manager Basilio Cabrera: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
