Tulsa, OK—For the third time this week, the Arkansas Travelers took a one-run win over the Tulsa Drillers, this time by a 3-2 count on Saturday night. Travs pitching was clutch when needed as they forced the Drillers into stranding 14 runners on the night. Danny Wirchansky earned his first win, dealing five shutout innings with Ben Onsyhko, Blas Castano, Travis Kuhn and Reid Morgan combining to slam the door. Robbie Tenerowicz homered and drove in two and Tyler Locklear also homered.
Moments That Mattered
* Kuhn came into a mess in the seventh with a one-run lead and the bases loaded with one out but struck out the next two hitters to preserve the lead. He then worked around a hit batter and a walk in the eighth to again hold the one run lead.
* Morgan pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the save. After a leadoff single, Harry Ford gunned down a pinch-runner trying to steal second. Then, after a walk, Morgan struck out the next two hitters to end the game.
