Cardinals Win, 6-3, at Northwest Arkansas
The Springfield Cardinals downed the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 6-3, at Arvest Ballpark. The Cardinals were led by James LaRatta. LaRatta was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Springfield, at 69-43, occupies first place in the North Division.

Springfield used a clutch at-bat from Brian Schoenberg to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"This is a great group to be a part of, and it's a big win for us," LaRatta told the Springfield Daily.
