Mena, Naturals Wallop Drillers in Game 3 of R1
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals moved to within one game of the Championship today, downing the visiting Tulsa Drillers at Arvest Ballpark by a score of 13-2.

The win gives the Naturals a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Round 1.

The Naturals took a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Facing Tulsa hurler Brycen Mautz with two outs, Mena hit a 2-run home run.

"I felt good up there," said Mena. "I saw the ball well."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale.
