SPRINGDALE, Texas (KFDA) – The Sod Poodles took down the Northwest Arkansas Travelers 6-5 in the opener of their six-game series on Tuesday night.
It was a five-run second inning for Amarillo that led the way to victory, with Kristian Robinson’s two-RBI double serving as the signature hit during the big inning.
The Travelers came back to tie it up, thanks in large part to a two-run homer off the bat of Gavin Cross in the fifth.
However, in the very next half inning, Tim Tawa snatched the lead right back for Amarillo with an RBI single.
From there, the Amarillo relievers shut down the Travelers lineup. Jake Rice, Taylor Rashi, and Mitchell Stumpo combined to allow just two hits, no runs and strikeout four over the final three innings to seal the one-run victory.
The Travelers had a chance to win it in the ninth with a runner on second and one out, but Stumpo struck out the final two batters of the game to end it.
The Sod Poodles will be back in action on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. to continue the series.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Arkansas City hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday at Lovie Watson Park.
The ribbon cutting was hosted by the Arkansas City Chamber of Commerce and marked the culmination of extensive efforts by Arkansas City’s Parks Department to renovate the park.
The renovations were made possible through a grant that was secured in Nov. 2023 from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Health Pathways program.
The grant funding helped install new equipment and establish a tobacco-free policy within the facility.
The Pathways initiative, known as Pathways to a Healthy Kansas, is the largest community grant initiative funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. It combines community-wide, evidence-based solutions and practices to help Kansas communities improve active living, healthy eating, and tobacco prevention.
The initiative provides community coalitions the tools and resources to engage their communities and remove barriers to healthy living.
