Naturals Victors, 5-2, at Springfield
Northwest Arkansas Naturals starter Eric Hammers turned in a top-notch performance against the Springfield Cardinals at Hammons Field. The result was a win for the Naturals, 5-2. Del Jacobs got the save, the 20th for him this season. Northwest Arkansas is now 53-46, while Springfield is 51-48.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Dan Overstreet? The 25-year old right fielder Overstreet stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put Northwest Arkansas up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"That's how you're going to be successful," said Naturals manager Steve Falteisek. "It starts with pitching and it will always be pitching."
