Naturals Take Tight Tangle
Adam Byrne was instrumental in his team's 5-4 triumph over the Little Rock Golden Gophers. The right fielder went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Greensboro Naturals. Greensboro reliever A.J. Robinson snagged the win, upping his record to 2-0. Mario Manrique shouldered the loss. After today's action, Greensboro sits at 34-44, while Little Rock falls to 59-19.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Byrne hit a sinker from Ronnie Downard for a run-scoring double. The Naturals, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It's great when the crowd is energized," Byrne said.
