Amarillo, TX—Cade Marlowe homered twice and Stephen Kolek tossed six stellar innings leading the Arkansas Travelers to a 13-4 victory over the Amarillo Sod Poodles on Thursday night. The Travs got control of a game with a seven-run third inning including a three-run blast by Marlowe, his second home run in as many innings. Kolek allowed just an unearned run in the sixth inning as the only blemish on his outing, striking out five against just one walk.
