Arkansas Travelers News Release

North Little Rock, AR - Four Arkansas Travelers pitchers combined to blank the Midland RockHounds, 2-0 in a series opening victory on Tuesday at CHI St. Vincent Field at Dickey-Stephens Park. Despite getting out hit, the Travs scored the game's only two runs with single tallies in the first and fourth innings. Both runs were set up by hit by pitches and aided by stolen bases. Danny Wirchansky worked the first five innings and struck out five to earn the win. Matt Cronin (2 IP), Taylor Floyd (IP) and Brandyn Garcia (IP) carried it to the finish line.

Moments That Mattered
