Northwest Arkansas left-hander Javier Sandoval helped his team edge Springfield by the score of 1-0. Sandoval kept the opposing lineup in check. The winner was Easton McGee in relief. His record improves to 2-2. Matt Anderson took the loss. The Naturals now have a record of 60-69 with the win over Springfield.

With the game on the line, Ken Jones came to bat in the bottom of the 16th. And the Northwest Arkansas shortstop came through, cracking a run-scoring single off Matt Anderson, the Springfield pitcher.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager Chad Kreuter.
