Arkansas Travelers News Release


North Little Rock, AR-The Arkansas Travelers five game winning streak came to a screeching halt on Sunday afternoon at Dickey-Stephens Park as three Springfield Cardinal pitchers combined on a one hit shutout in a 1-0 win. Andre Pallante (Win, 5 IP), Edgar Escobar (3 IP) and Grant Black (Sv, IP) kept the Travs offense at bay all afternoon.
