Springfield Cardinals starter Blake Carpenter turned in a workmanlike performance against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals at Hammons Field. Carpenter, now 4-4, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. The third-place Cardinals now sit at 18-20.

In the bottom of the first inning, the Cardinals grabbed the lead when Nelson Empasis rapped a two-out single. Springfield was trailing 2-1, when Empasis hit a 2-run single off Sam Delmas to put his team in front, 3-2.

"I hate to be the fly in the ointment," said Empasis, "but we could've played better."
