Pyle hits 2 home runs to Power Naturals Offense
Northwest Arkansas first baseman Brian Pyle made his presence felt in the 9-0 Naturals triumph over the San Antonio Missions. Pyle hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Arturo Valverde recorded the save, his 3rd. The Naturals, at 43-45, sit in third place in the North Division.

Northwest Arkansas used the hitting of Nick Crofton to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Naturals on top, 3-0. For the game, Crofton had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"When you don't put the pitches where they're supposed to be, they hit you hard," said San Antonio skipper Matt Pace.
