Springfield Tacks 6-4 Loss on Northwest Arkansas
The Springfield Cardinals dealt the Northwest Arkansas Naturals a 6-4 loss at Arvest Ballpark. Kyle Diaz, who is tied for 10th in the TEX in stolen bases with 17, was the star on offense. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Tim Payton was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 8 hits, with 6 walks and 3 strikeouts. Springfield is now 61-48. Northwest Arkansas is 52-57.

Diaz contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Springfield in the top of the third. With his team trailing 3-1, Diaz took a cutter from Jon Figueroa and stroked the home run to right. His 2nd home run of the season allowed the Cardinals to leap in front, 5-3.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Diaz told the Springfield Daily.
