Tulsa, OK—Jonny DeLuca ended a back and forth affair with a walk-off home run and the Tulsa Drillers defeated the Arkansas Travelers, 7-5 on Friday night. The game-ending blast came off of Travs relief ace Michael Stryffeler who had just entered for the bottom of the ninth. Tulsa had jumped to an early three-run lead before Arkansas scored five straight runs including a grand slam by Jake Scheiner to take the lead in the fifth inning. The Drillers were up to the task though and rallied behind a pair of homers and a stellar effort from their bullpen in the final four innings.

Moments That Mattered

* Scheiner’s grand slam put the Travs on top in the fifth but they went on to leave the bases loaded in both the fifth and sixth innings.

* Buddy Reed hit a pinch-hit, game-tying, two-run homer in the sixth inning. He then led off the ninth with a single setting the stage for DeLuca.

Notable Travs Performances

* 1B Jake Scheiner: 2-5, 2 runs, 2B, HR, 4 RBI

* DH Matt Scheffler: 2-4, BB, RBI

News and Notes

* Arkansas stranded 13 runners on base.

* Seattle announced just after the conclusion of the game that Travs RHP Levi Stoudt was one of four minor league players traded to the Cincinnati Reds for MLB All-Star RHP Luis Castillo.
