Naturals Prevail, as Round 1 Goes to the Wire
After their 12-10 win today at ONEOK Field over the Tulsa Drillers, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals will advance to the Round 2. Northwest Arkansas won the series by a 3-2 margin.

Leading the way for the Naturals was third baseman David Renovato, who had a spectacular series and was named MVP.

"I don't play differently in the regular season or playoffs. I just go out and do my best every game," he said. "It's certainly nice to play in the big game, but you can't let it get to your head and change your focus."

The Northwest Arkansas Naturals will play against the Frisco RoughRiders in the next round. Frisco won their series against the Corpus Christi Hooks 3 games to 1. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
