RockHounds Score Late to Upend Cardinals, 8-5
The Springfield Cardinals could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Cristo Morales into a win. Instead, the Midland RockHounds prevailed, 8-5. Morales threw 6.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Yajirobei Hirayama recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 14 for 18. The win puts Midland at 29-49.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for José Chacón? The Midland second baseman had a run-scoring walk in the top of the ninth inning to put the RockHounds on top, 7-5. For the game, Chacón had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We took home the win," said Chacón. "What's not to like?"
