Naturals Slip Past Travelers, 3-2
Starting pitcher Sam Delmas was a major factor in the 3-2 Northwest Arkansas Naturals triumph over the Arkansas Travelers. In 8 innings, Delmas surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. David Thibeaux earned the save for Northwest Arkansas, his 15th of the year.

Nick Crofton had a direct impact on the outcome. Crofton contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Northwest Arkansas up, 3-2.

"You have to win 1-0, 3-2, 2-1 games if you want to get to where you want to go," said Naturals manager Ryan Hudson.

The setback makes Arkansas 56-79.
