SPRINGDALE, AR – Carson Roccaforte, Connor Scott and Rudy Martin Jr. each homered in a game that featured eight total long balls at Arvest Ballpark on Sunday afternoon, as the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (6-3) fell to the Amarillo Sox Poodles (2-7) in the series finale, 6-3. After the series win, the Naturals head to Corpus Christi to face off against the Hooks, starting Tuesday at 6:35 PM CT.
Amarillo took an early 3-0 lead before the Naturals' offense responded. Scott crushed his first long ball of the season to center field, landing in the trees of the Arvest Ballpark batter’s eye to give NWA their first run of the game.
Martin Jr. and Roccaforte helped the Naturals stay in the game with homers of their own, but it wasn’t enough as the Naturals fell in the series finale, 6-3.
