Northwest Arkansas Sent Home with 11-6 Loss
The Springfield Cardinals reigned over the Northwest Arkansas Naturals in damp conditions.

Springfield shortstop Bert Wemp helped his team beat the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 11-6. Wemp, who leads the TEX in RBI with 20, went 2 for 4 for the Cardinals. The Naturals fall to 7-15 and continue their lackluster start to the 2026 season.

Springfield second baseman Shoji Fukuda contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a slider to left field for a 2-run single. It was his 6th hit of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 4-0.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Wemp told the Springfield Daily News.
