Aces Get Past Northwest Arkansas for 4-3 Win
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals got a superb performance from pitcher Max Cormier, but the Alexandria Aces still won the game, 4-3. Cormier threw 6.0 innings of shutout ball. The Aces, now 2-0, have hit the ground running this season.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 23-year old right fielder Christopher Wise had a chance to be the hero. Northwest Arkansas pitcher Raynel Rodríguez had other ideas. But with two outs, Wise got hit by a pitch, driving in 1 run. The Aces had themselves a dramatic win.

"If we keep winning the close games," Wise said, "we'll be in good shape at the end."
