Arkansas Travelers News Release
North Little Rock, AR - With the Dickey-Stephens Park crowd of 5,537 chanting his name, Robbie Tenerowicz hit a two-run walk-off home run over the foul pole in left field sending the Arkansas Travelers to an 8-6 win over the Springfield Cardinals in 10 innings on Monday night. The blast by "Byrd" capped a Travs rally that saw them trail by two in the sixth inning before Spencer Packard's homer in the bottom of the sixth tied the game. Four Arkansas relievers combined for 4.2 innings of shutout relief and seven strikeouts over the back part of the game. Prelander Berroa was the winner after working a scoreless top of the 10th.
