Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Luis Antonio Rivera? The Northwest Arkansas center fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put the Naturals on top, 2-1. For the game, Rivera had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Byfield said after the game.
