Naturals Deal Drillers 8-4 Setback
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals defeated the Tulsa Drillers, 8-4. Left Fielder Vince Taylor deserved a large share of the credit. Taylor was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs for the Naturals. Curtis Swanson was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-1. The losing pitcher was Travis Pinkstaff. Northwest Arkansas now sports a record of 31-27.

The Drillers had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Naturals going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old second baseman Antonio Ventura came to the plate. Ventura hit a 2-run double on a 1-2 cutter from Tulsa hurler Rod Gutierrez. It was Ventura's 11th double of the year.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Ventura told the Northwest Arkansas Daily News. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
