Northwest Arkansas Beats Springfield, 12-7
Behind a fine performance from Ramão La Arena, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals knocked off the Springfield Cardinals, 12-7. La Arena was 3-5 with a home run and a triple. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Naturals. The winning pitcher was Duane Bradley. He's now 6-2. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 6 runs on 11 hits for the Naturals. By defeating Springfield, the last-place Naturals improved to 30-33.

Mario Navarro had a big bases-clearing double for the Naturals in the bottom of the first inning. With Northwest Arkansas leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Sergio Manuel, who is tied for 3rd in the TEX with a 9.5 K/9 rate, and swatted a double to right. It was his 9th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Naturals ahead, 4-0.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Navarro, "one at-bat at a time."
