Smokies Lose, 9-6, as Naturals Rally
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals defeated the Tennessee Smokies, 9-6, in part because of catcher Ernest Nelson. Nelson was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Naturals. Julian Joseph notched his 6th save in 8 chances. With the win, the Northwest Arkansas record is 31-93.

Northwest Arkansas used the timely hitting of Troy Dean to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Naturals on top, 9-6. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Wish we'd had more wins to celebrate like this one," said Dean.
