Jeff O'Duana impressed in the 5-4 Northwest Arkansas win over Arkansas. O'Duana, who is tied for 8th in the TEX in bases on balls with 49, was 1 for 1 with 4 walks, while scoring 2 times. Northwest Arkansas reliever Johnathan Henderson snagged the win, upping his record to 4-9. Jon Suárez shouldered the loss. The victory makes Northwest Arkansas 35-93.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Chris Huggins came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Arkansas pitcher Israel Gómez, he hit a full count curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Northwest Arkansas on top, 5-4.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Huggins told a Northwest Arkansas Observer reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
