Drillers Pull Out Late-Game Win, 5-4
Curt Evans was a major factor in the 5-4 Tulsa win over Northwest Arkansas. The Drillers shortstop went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. Regis Barbiusa was the winner. He's now 12-5. The loser was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Wright. Northwest Arkansas, at 28-71, has lost 5 straight.

A crucial at-bat came with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the sixth inning. That's when center fielder Pepe Uribe got hit by a pitch, driving in 1 run. The Drillers went on to win.

"The crowd was raucous," said Evans.
