Naturals Lose at Home, 6-1
The Springfield Cardinals defeated the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 6-1. Second Baseman Bert Wemp deserved a large share of the credit. Wemp went 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Cardinals. Orlando López was the winner. He's now 2-1. The loser was fireballing left-hander Steve Bell. Northwest Arkansas drops to 7-16.

Wemp had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a full count fastball from Jonathon Foster, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Cardinals a 4-1 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Wemp.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Wemp told the Springfield Daily News.
