Northwest Arkansas Naturals (16-9) 0 1 0 1 0 4 0 3 X 9 11 1
Molina Homers Twice in 9-5 Naturals Win
A 4-RBI performance from first baseman Carlos Molina led the Northwest Arkansas Naturals to a win over the Springfield Cardinals, 9-5. Brent Graham, the winning pitcher, is now 4-0. He went 6 innings, allowing 5 runs on 11 hits, while fanning 7 and walking 3. The win takes Northwest Arkansas to 16-9.

The Cardinals had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Naturals going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old left fielder Dave Jacoba came to the plate. Jacoba hit a run-scoring double on a 2-0 fastball from Springfield hurler Alejandro Reyes. It was Jacoba's 9th double of the year.

"We're trying to go out there and win games," Molina told the Northwest Arkansas Observer, "and we played pretty well tonight."
