Northwest Arkansas Rallies to 3-2 Win
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals took Springfield pitcher Tim Payton's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Arvest Ballpark. The final score had Northwest Arkansas getting past the Cardinals, 3-2. Payton went 7 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 2. Northwest Arkansas has a record of 31-28, placing them third in the North Division.

Northwest Arkansas got a knockout punch from Rob Wade. The center fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Wade said, postgame.
