Arkansas Travelers News Release
Tulsa, OK - The Arkansas Travelers and Tulsa Drillers split a doubleheader on Thursday with the Drillers winning game one, 6-5 and the Travs bouncing back to take the nightcap, 7-2. It was a frustrating night for the Travs offense going a combined 4-27 with runners in scoring position. Tulsa rode a six run inning to the victory in the opener as a late rally came up just short. Arkansas then rallied for the win in the second game, taking the lead in the sixth inning and putting it away with a four run seventh.

* Tulsa's six run fifth inning included a go-ahead two-run double from Nick Senzel who just joined their team today and a three-run homer from Damon Keith.
* Arkansas put up three in the sixth and one in the seventh on a Josh Hood homer but never got the tying run on base.
Moments That Mattered (Game 2)
* Thirsting for a clutch hit, Victor Labrada delivered a two-run single off the glove of the second baseman to put the Travs up a run with two out in the sixth.
* Michael Hobbs worked around a leadoff single to protect that one-run lead in the bottom of the sixth as he struck out the top three hitters in the Drillers lineup in order.
