Travelers Pin 8-7 Loss on Northwest Arkansas
Northwest Arkansas got a terrific game from center fielder Rodrigo Hernández. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Arkansas, 8-7. Hernández belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Juan Díaz, credited with the win in relief, is now 4-0. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. Kevin Jenkins closed it out for his 9th save.

Eric Thomas went 1-4 with a walk for Arkansas. The 25-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring walk off Manny Mojano. It was his 44th walk of the season.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Thomas.

Northwest Arkansas now owns a losing streak of 5 games.
