The Travs Kyle Tyler was just as hot, he strikes out Noah Medlinger to end the second.
It was 2-nothing Travs in the fifth when Errol Robinson singles to right, Chandler Redmond scores to make it a 2-1 game.
It was 3-1 in the seventh, a man on for Springfield, and Aaron Antonini takes this deep to left center, but the Travs Jonatan Clasey crashes into the wall and makes the catch.
And Arkansas wins game one 3-1.
And leads the best of three series one game to none, game two Thursday night in Little Rock.
