Amarillo pitcher Kyle Lloyd threw seven scoreless innings as the Sod Poodles won a pitchers duel over the Arkansas Travelers 1-0 on Saturday night.
Kyle Overstreet drove in the game's lone run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning in front of 6,241 at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock.
Arkansas starter Logan Gilbert and three relievers combined on a four-hitter, but the Travelers failed to get a baserunner past second base.
Gilbert allowed 2 hits and 1 walk while striking out 6. Reliever Jack Anderson (4-2) took the loss, giving up 2 hits and 1 walk in his 1 inning of work.
Lloyd (8-6) allowed 6 hits and 1 walk while striking out 6. Reliever David Bednar struck out all three batters he faced to pick up his 13th save.
Evan White picked up two of the Travelers' six hits.
The Travelers will play their final regular-season home game today. Arkansas finishes the regular season with four games at Corpus Christi and four games at Amarillo. Arkansas will return home for the Texas League North Division playoffs on Sept. 4.
