Naturals Slap 6-4 Loss on Springfield
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Springfield Cardinals.

Northwest Arkansas picked up a win at Hammons Field, bumping off the Springfield Cardinals, 6-4. Pitcher Michael Hess was a major reason the Naturals emerged victorious. Hess yielded 2 runs over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 7. His record improves to 2-0. Trystão Caparica picked up his 7th save of the season.

Northwest Arkansas used a clutch at-bat from Jonathan Heide to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Naturals ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Good, gritty kind of win," said Naturals manager Travis Brassard.

The loss makes Springfield 73-63.
