Arkansas Travelers News Release
Tulsa, OK - Nick Raposo had four hits including a home run and Ryan Hawks dealt six shutout innings as the Arkansas Travelers flew past the Tulsa Drillers, 13-3 on Thursday night. The four hits matched a career high for Raposo as he was a triple shy of the cycle. Hawks earned his second win of the season holding Tulsa to two hits and two walks while striking out two. Jared Sundstrom reached base four times with two hits and two walks. J.T. Arruda also homered and stole two bases in the victory.
Moments That Mattered
* Jared Sundstrom singled with one out in the second. He then dashed around the bases on a steal of second base, going to third when the catcher's throw skipped into centerfield and then scoring when the throw in from the outfield got away also. Raposo then followed with a home run.
* Hawks was in command his entire outing, scattering the four baserunners over the six innings. He allowed only one runner past first base.
