Alexandria pitcher Ken Balog did his part in helping his team beat the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 4-1. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Alexandria has now won 4 games in a row.

Bill Sheppard drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate for Alexandria. The 27-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring walk off Spike Marshall. It was his 32nd walk of the season.

"There's still time to turn this season around," said Balog.
