Walk-Off Walk Wraps Up Wild Win

North Little Rock, AR-In a wild finish capped by a walk-off walk from Chris Mariscal, the Arkansas Travelers defeated the Tulsa Drillers, 6-5 on Monday night at Dickey-Stephens Park. RBI singles from Adam Law and Dario Pizzano broke a tie in the eighth inning and seemed to set the Travs up for the win. However, Tulsa's Keibert Ruiz answered with a 3-run homer with two out in the ninth inning to put the Drillers on top. The Travs would respond though, with Tulsa seemingly out of pitching in the ninth as they used their starting shortstop Michael Ahmed on the mound. Beau Amaral would tie it with an RBI double and later score the winning run on Mariscal's walk. Chase De Jong worked seven innings allowing only two runs and three hits (just one after the third). Arkansas did not get a hit off Tulsa starter Dennis Santana before getting three straight to open the fifth. It was a frustrating night for the Travs offense as they stranded a total of 18 baserunners.
