Twice as Nice: Arkansas Extends Lead to 2-0 With Walk-off Win
The Arkansas Travelers got a strong game from starter Mick Cooper, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.

The Travelers took the 2-1 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos in Game 2 of the Regional Championship Series in a 9th inning walk-off. The win capped off a fine outing for the left-handed Cooper. Cooper threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball in the win, which gave the Travelers a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Lyle Maturo was the walk-off hero for Arkansas. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Travelers pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Maturo said in his postgame press conference.

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at Rebels Ballpark in Pensacola.
