July 27, 2024 - Texas League (TL)
Arkansas Travelers News Release
Springdale, AR-The Arkansas Travelers came back from three runs down to force extra innings but dropped a 6-5 decision in 10 innings to the Northwest Arkansas Naturals on Saturday night. Peyton Wilson connected for a soft walk-off hit with two out in the last of the 10th to end the game. Travis Kuhn pitched a scoreless ninth to force extra innings and nearly delivered another scoreless inning that would have prolonged the game. The Travs trailed nearly the entire night, tying the score with two out in the top of the ninth, but never held the lead.
Moments That Mattered
* Victor Labrada rocked a two-run double with two out in the fourth inning to bring Arkansas within a run.
* Down two in the ninth, Brock Rodden opened the frame with a no doubt home run. A pair of walks with one out put the tying and go-ahead runs on base. With two strikes and two out, Labrada raced home on a wild pitch to tie the score.

* CF Victor Labrada: 1-3, BB, run, 2B, 2 RBI
