Naturals Rally For 5-4 Win
Northwest Arkansas picked up a win at Hammons Field, bumping off the Springfield Cardinals, 5-4. Pitcher Josh Tucker was a major reason the Naturals emerged victorious. The Naturals, at 62-65, sit in third place in the North Division.

Northwest Arkansas used a timely hit from Frank Gonzales to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Naturals ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a difference-maker.

"Winning is the only thing that really matters," Gonzales told the Northwest Arkansas Observer. "If you can win without even breaking a sweat, more power to you."
