Travs Go Ten Again for Win in Tulsa

Tulsa, OK-For the second straight night it took 10 innings but once again the Arkansas Travelers defeated the Tulsa Drillers, this time by a 2-1 final score. With the win, the Travs now lead the Drillers by 4.5 games in the first half division race. Darren McCaughan delivered a strong start of seven innings and just one run (on a solo homer) setting the tone for the night on the mound. Dan Altavilla (IP) and Darin Gillies (2 IP) took the baton from there out of the bullpen. Arkansas struggled to capitalize early against Tulsa starter J.D. Martin other than a single tally in the second inning. The Travs finished the night 2-13 with runners in scoring position but Tulsa went 0-7.
