Tulsa, OK-A five-run lead did not stand up as the Tulsa Drillers rallied for a 10-6 victory over the Arkansas Travelers on Sunday night. Tulsa takes the series three games to one. Arkansas hit into a season-high five double plays on the night before the Drillers posted six runs in the bottom of the seventh to take control of the game. It was a bullpen effort for the Travs pitching staff with six different hurlers taking the mound and none working more than spot starter Spencer Herrmann's 2.2 innings.
Moments That Mattered
* Chris Mariscal blasted a 3-run opposite field homer off Yadier Álvarez to push the lead to five in the fifth inning.
* D.J. Peters answered Mariscal's homer with a three-run blast of his own in the bottom of the inning to bring the Drillers back within two.
* Tulsa scored six times in the seventh inning on five singles, an intentional walk, two hit batsmen and a wild pitch. Errol Robinson's hit drove home the go-ahead run.
Notable Travs Performances
