Cardinals Edged, 6-1, by Northwest Arkansas
Behind an impressive start by Eric Marlin, Northwest Arkansas beat Springfield, 6-1. Northwest Arkansas is now 66-71. Springfield is 78-59.

Northwest Arkansas used the clutch hitting of Josh Gearhart to snag the win. The third baseman drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Naturals ahead, 6-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"I think we all put in a good day's work," said Gearhart.
