SPRINGFIELD, MO - The Springfield Cardinals, trailing 8-4 in the tenth inning, walked off the Arkansas Travelers 9-8 thanks to an extra inning comeback to even the series at one.

DECISIONS:

W: Andrew Schultz (3-0)

L: Brock Moore (1-3)

NOTES:

  • Tre Richardson III launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth, his second longball at Double-A.
  • Jesús Báez homered in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game at four. It was the third straight game in which he has gone deep. He's the second Cardinal to complete that feat this season (Won-Bin Cho). He would also homer in the tenth inning, his second of the game.
