Arkansas Travelers News Release
North Little Rock, AR-Taylor Dollard stretched his unbeaten streak to 16 and the Arkansas Travelers bested the Tulsa Drillers, 7-2 on Sunday afternoon at Dickey-Stephens Park. It was the 14th victory of the season for Dollard including a perfect 13-0 record in his last 16 outings. He worked six innings allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits with five strikeouts. He pitched with an early lead after the Travs posted a four run second inning.
Moments That Mattered
* Arkansas scored four times in the second on only one hit. Cade Marlowe drove in the first run on an RBI single. He would later score on a throwing error when stealing third. A wild pitch and a sacrifice fly scored the other two runs. The Travs paid off three consecutive walks after Marlowe's hit.
