Tulsa, OK—The Arkansas Travelers erased a four-run deficit late but fell to the Tulsa Drillers, 8-7 on Tuesday night. A four-run eighth inning pulled the Travs even only to see the Drillers get the decisive run home on a fielder’s choice with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. Jonny Farmelo had a pair of hits, both doubles, including a game-tying two-run hit. Lucas Wepf was the winner for Tulsa working 1.1 perfect frames. Ty Cummings took the loss after allowing the final run in the ninth inning.
Moments That Mattered
* In the eighth, Josh Caron hit a two-run triple and Farmelo hit his second double of the game to score two more as the Travs tied the score.
* Tulsa loaded the bases with none out on two walks and a hit by pitch in the ninth. That set up the high chopper to score the game-winner.
