Naturals Beaten by Cardinals, 6-2
The inspired effort of Northwest Arkansas second baseman Dan Snider was not enough to prevent a loss, 6-2, to the Springfield Cardinals. Snider went 2-3 with a triple and 2 walks. The win went to Jim Baker in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Álex Ayala took the loss. Danny Álvarez got the save, the 3rd for him this season.

Springfield used a well-timed hit by César Vargas to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 6-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

Vargas said his team "played with determination."

The Cardinals lead the North Division by 6 games.
