Arkansas Travelers News Release
North Little Rock, AR - For the second time in three nights, the Arkansas Travelers put together an eighth inning rally to come from behind and defeat the Corpus Christi Hooks, this time by a 5-3 count on Thursday night. The Travs scored three times in the eighth erasing a one run deficit and getting their second lead of the night. Taylor Dollard settled for no decision throwing five innings of one-run ball but stretched his unbeaten streak to 19 consecutive starts to close out the season. Travis Kuhn was the winner after firing two scoreless innings in relief and Isaiah Campbell pitched a scoreless ninth to close it out and earn his first Double-A save.
