North Little Rock, AR - Connor Jones threw a seven-inning no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader and the Arkansas Travelers threw dual shutouts defeating the Amarillo Sod Poodles, 6-0 and 2-0 on Thursday night.

Five pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout in game two. For the night, the Travs pitching staff held the best hitting team in the league to no runs on two hits over 14 innings. The offense scored in five consecutive innings in the opener and then put up a pair of runs in the sixth inning of the back half.
