Springfield Edges Corpus Christi, 3-2
The Springfield Cardinals earned a close win over the Corpus Christi Hooks, thanks in part to Carlos Romero. The Springfield right-hander played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Matt Helsen earned the save for Springfield, his 8th. The Cardinals are now 63-61.

Springfield used a clutch at-bat from Mike McDowell to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

When asked about his performance after the game, McDowell said: "Like everyone else, I'm just doing my job."
