Drillers Hammered by Ribeirete, Drop Game 2 to Naturals
With center fielder AltifĂ­cio Ribeirete leading the charge, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals got a road win over the Tulsa Drillers, 9-3, in Game 2 of the Round 1. Ribeirete was 2-3 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 at ONEOK Field to help Northwest Arkansas force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-5 series.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the second. That's when Ribeirete hit a sinker from Jorge Cortez for a 2-run home run, putting Northwest Arkansas up, 3-0.

"Ever since we qualified for the playoffs, the guys have been razzing me about how I'm going to embarrass myself out there," the rookie Ribeirete said with a smile. "I'm glad to prove them wrong, at least for a day."

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale.
