Garza Powers Cardinals Offense
The Springfield Cardinals defeated the Arkansas Travelers by the score of 8-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to left fielder António Garza. Garza was 4-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Cardinals on the day. Losses have been few and far between for the Travelers, now 10-3.

Garza contributed in the bottom of the fifth. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Springfield get the win.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Garza.
