Northwest Arkansas Naturals News Release
TULSA, OK - The Northwest Arkansas Naturals (22-24) lost the first game of their scheduled doubleheader against the Tulsa Drillers (28-19), 6-1, while the second game of the twin bill was postponed due to rain again. The two teams will play a doubleheader Friday, May 29, with a 4:30 PM CT first pitch at ONEOK Field in Tulsa.
Drew Beam (2-4) got the start in the series' second game, keeping Tulsa off the board until the third. The righty let up a pair of runs in the third and fourth innings to make it a 4-0 game.
The Naturals answered back with a run of their own in the sixth when Daniel Vazquez singled to left, scoring Colton Becker to make it a three-run game. In the bottom of the frame, Tulsa scored two more and held NWA to one run, taking the first game of the twin bill 6-1.
The second game was supposed to start around 7:00 PM, but heavy rain came through downtown Tulsa multiple times during the layover. Eventually, the game was postponed and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader on Friday beginning at 4:30 PM CT.
