The Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Tulsa Drillers provided some drama for the home crowd.

Northwest Arkansas pitcher Arturo Valverde gave the Drillers all they could handle, but in the end, Tulsa left Arvest Ballpark with a win, 2-1. Valverde allowed 2 runs on 3 hits over 7.1 innings. The Drillers now own a record of 88-50.

Tulsa took the lead, 2-1, on Jeremy Johnson's 25th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Northwest Arkansas pitcher Arturo Valverde in the top of the seventh.

"We scored one run," said Northwest Arkansas manager Ryan Hudson. "You're not gonna get a lot of Ws scoring just one run."
