Arkansas Travelers News Release
Springdale, AR-In the penultimate game of the 2023 regular season, the Arkansas Travelers breezed past the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 10-1 on Saturday night. Six Travs pitchers had a shutout until the final out of the ninth inning. Rob Kaminsky was awarded the win after pitching two innings of relief following three scoreless frames from Jimmy Joyce. Even with only six hits offensively, the Travs had numerous base runners drawing six walks and getting hit by three pitches. Spencer Packard had two hits and drove home three runs.
Moments That Mattered
