SPRINGDALE, Arkansas -- In only took 13 innings, but Northwest Arkansas finally topped the Tulsa Drillers 5-4 at Arvest Ballpark.

Johnny Giavotella tallied the decisive single, scoring Anthony Seratelli to notch the win.

Stuart Pomeranz (1-4) was stuck with the loss for the Drillers, failing to log an inning's worth of work.

Northwest Arkansas had plenty of chances to score, but failed to on numerous occasions, leaving 13 runners on base.

Tulsa jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings, fueled by RBI hits by Daniel Mayora and Bronson Sardinha. But the Naturals evened the score in the third, scoring three runs on Mike Moustakas' 18th home run of the season.

Two innings later, Manuel Pina gave Northwest Arkansas the lead with a solo home run.

A fielding error in the top of the sixth allowed catcher Lars Davis to scoring, forcing a tie that would last until Giavotella's walk-off single.
