Naturals Advance to Round 2
After eliminating the Springfield Cardinals 5-3 in the Round 1 at Hammons Field, the victorious Northwest Arkansas Naturals will now move on to the next round: the Round 2.

Northwest Arkansas beat Springfield 3-1 in the series. The MVP trophy was awarded to Naturals first baseman Marlon Whaley, who knocked in 4 runs, hit .467 and scored 4 times.

"The guys were all chanting 'M-V-P' when I went into the clubhouse," Whaley said later, with a smile. "It was kind of embarrassing but it feels great to be here."

The Northwest Arkansas Naturals will play against the Amarillo Sod Poodles in the next round. Amarillo won their series against the San Antonio Missions 3 games to 0. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
