Cardinals Snatch Late Win
The Springfield Cardinals did just enough to sneak past the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 3-2, at Hammons Field. Springfield pitcher Matt Bates, in particular, had a standout performance. Springfield bumps their record to 57-68 with the win.

Mike Bownds was the walk-off hero for Springfield. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cardinals pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring double to send the teams home.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Springfield skipper William Case.
