Travelers Rocked By Naturals, 12-2
Riding the 4-hit performance of the 23-year old left fielder Julio Shifflett, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals stopped the Arkansas Travelers, 12-2, in 9 innings. Michael Hess picked up the win, lifting his record to 4-0 on the season. He struck out 6 and walked 4 in 7 innings, while yielding 2 runs. Northwest Arkansas, at 21-13, occupies second place in the North Division.

Northwest Arkansas used a clutch at-bat from AltifĂ­cio Ribeirete to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Naturals ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Arkansas manager Mario Serrano summed up his team's performance in one word: "Putrid."
