Northwest Arkansas Win to Pull Even With Tulsa
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals took down the Tulsa Drillers by the score of 5-3 and moved into a 1-1 tie in the Round 1. The largest share of the credit belongs to Northwest Arkansas starter Joel Horton, who threw 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball.

In the top of the third, Northwest Arkansas second baseman Chris McCormack had a productive at-bat. With the bases empty and no one out, McCormack stroked a solo home run to left. It made the score 2-1, Northwest Arkansas. For the game, he went 1 for 4 with a home run.

Northwest Arkansas manager Travis Brassard commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
