Cardinals Get Hard-Earned Win
The Cardinals grabbed a win, 4-3, at Hammons Field, overcoming a fine effort from Northwest Arkansas pitcher Joe Anderson. Anderson went 8 innings and allowed 2 runs. The Cardinals raised their record to 32-37.

Springfield got a clutch hit from Augusto Velasco. The pinch hitter launched a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a kill shot.

Velasco said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
