Naturals Down Blue Wahoos, 8-4
The 8-4 Northwest Arkansas win over Pensacola was due in large part to Skyler Chara. The Naturals center fielder went 2-3 with a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs. Yuniesky Valenzuela picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-0. Barry Whitfield was tagged with the loss. The Naturals move to 33-99 with the win.

Northwest Arkansas used the timely hitting of Josiah Hutchinson to capture the win. The shortstop stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Naturals on top, 5-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but he made it count.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Northwest Arkansas skipper Luis Gonzales.
