Ricardo Rodriguez, who is tied for 6th in the TEX in wins with 8, propelled his team to victory over the Springfield Cardinals. The final score was 5-4, Tulsa. The winner in relief was Norberto Valdés. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 2.2 innings. He now owns a record of 4-0. The Drillers have an impressive 64-38 record.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jeff Morrison in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 23-year old left-handed pitcher Juan Ángel to win the game for Tulsa. The home crowd went nuts.

"Ricardo was exceptional and he pitched with a purpose," said Tulsa manager Victor Martinez.
