Smith, Cardinals March to 10-3 Victory
The Springfield Cardinals knocked off the Arkansas Travelers, 10-3, at Hammons Field. Ken Smith was a big reason Springfield won. The third baseman went 4-4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. The triumph makes Springfield 14-9, as the team begins another long trek toward the playoffs in 2025.

António Rodríguez had a big 2-run double for the Cardinals in the bottom of the third inning. With Springfield trailing 3-2 and the bases loaded, he got a cutter from Steve Vaughn and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cardinals ahead, 4-3.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Rodríguez.
