Tulsa Beats Northwest Arkansas, 9-4
Benefiting from Ken Bowling's productive game, the Tulsa Drillers downed the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 9-4. Bowling was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Drillers. Tynan Ford picked up the win, improving his season record to 3-3. He struck out 3 in 6.1 innings. The win for the Drillers lifted their record to 24-15.

In the bottom of the 6th, center fielder José Solís gave Tulsa the lead when he hit a 2-run single. The Drillers had been trailing 4-3, but the two-out single off Northwest Arkansas pitcher Edgardo Méndez changed that -- and Tulsa went on to win.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Bowling told the Tulsa Daily News.
