Cardinals Procure 6-5 Victory
The Springfield Cardinals weathered a fine game by Northwest Arkansas designated hitter John Vargo to upend the Naturals, 6-5, at Arvest Ballpark. Vargo went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Springfield has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Noah Sykes? The 26-year old first baseman Sykes stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put Springfield up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I feel like a little kid every time I put the uniform on," said Sykes.
