Springfield Topples Arkansas, 6-2
Springfield Cardinals starter Xavier Clayton found his groove in his team's 6-2 win over the Arkansas Travelers. Clayton, now 9-10, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 10, walking 4, and allowing 2 runs. Springfield occupies second place in the North Division at 60-50.

Giovani Cesaresco had a big 3-run home run for the Cardinals in the bottom of the third inning. With Springfield leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Mark Clements and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Cardinals on top, 4-0.

"No time for posing," said Cesaresco. "The next game will be here before you know it."
