DeLoach Cracks Go-Ahead HR in Late Rally

North Little Rock, AR—Zach DeLoach hit a go-ahead, two-run home run with two out in the bottom of the seventh, propelling the Arkansas Travelers to a 3-1 win over the Tulsa Drillers on Wednesday night at Dickey-Stephens Park. The blast came off Drillers starter Nick Nastrini who matched his career high with 6.2 innings pitched for the second time in as many Double-A starts. Prelander Berroa pitched the first five innings for Arkansas giving up just one run on one hit with seven strikeouts. Four relievers then each worked one scoreless inning to close out the game.
