Northwest Arkansas Naturals News Release
SPRINGDALE, AR - For the second night in a row, the Wichita Wind Surge struck for a run in the first inning and held the lead the entire game, as the Northwest Arkansas Naturals lost 4-2.
Both Naturals runs came off the bat of third baseman Nate Eaton, who scored Seuly Matias on a Wind surge error in the fourth, then tripled home Michael Massey in the sixth inning.
Robbie Glendinning and Tucker Bradley each reached base as well, with Glendinning drawing two walks and Bradley walking and singling. Leadoff hitter Maikel Garcia reached for the seventh consecutive game with a fifth inning single, the only Natural to reach base in every game this season.
Starting pitcher Anthony Veneziano allowed all four runs, striking out three batters across 3.0 innings. After Veneziano, relievers Yefri Del Rosario and Zack Phillips combined for 6.0 scoreless innings, keeping Northwest Arkansas within striking distance for the rest of the night.
The Naturals look to get back in the win column on Saturday night at 6:05 p.m. CT as left-hander Angel Zerpa takes the mound at Arvest Ballpark for his second start of the year.
