Tulsa Rocks Northwest Arkansas, 14-1
The Tulsa Drillers pasted the Northwest Arkansas Naturals with a convincing 14-1 defeat at ONEOK Field. Eric Columbus was a prime factor in the Tulsa win. He was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Ricardo Rodriguez, who went 6.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 5 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 6-1. Tulsa, at 50-25, is 8½ games up in the North Division.

Tulsa left fielder Hugh Thomas contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a cutter to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 71st hit of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 3-0.

"You start putting runs on the board and winning, everyone's going to get excited," said Columbus.
