Travs Hit 3 Homers; Dollard Wins Again

September 9, 2022 – Texas League (TL) – Arkansas Travelers News Release

Amarillo, TX – The Arkansas Travelers scored double-digit runs for the third time this week and defeated the Amarillo Sod Poodles, 10-6 on Friday night. The victory made a winner of Taylor Dollard for the 16th time this season. Dollard surrendered a season high six runs but battled through five innings and left with his team in front by one. With the win, he becomes the first pitcher in the modern history of the Travelers franchise to win 16+ games in a season. That feat was last accomplished in 1960 when Don Brady won 17 games. Four relievers each pitched a scoreless inning to close out the game.

Moments That Mattered

* Jake Scheiner hit a two-out, two strike home run in the top of the fifth inning to take the Travs from down a run to up by two. Cade Marlowe added a two-run homer later in the inning.

* Amarillo scored three times in the bottom of the fifth to cut the lead to one and had the tying run at second base but Dollard got a strikeout on his 31st pitch of the inning to preserve the lead.
