Cardinals Edge Naturals, 7-6
Springfield third baseman Ron Neal was a significant contributor in his team's 7-6 triumph over the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. He went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Cardinals. Nelson Acosta picked up his 2nd save of the season. The North Division-leading Cardinals are 48-19.

Neal had a game-changing double in the top of the seventh. On a full count changeup from Johnathan Henderson, he banged a bases-clearing double to right-center, giving the Cardinals a 7-6 lead. It was the 3rd double of the year for Neal.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Northwest Arkansas manager Steve Falteisek. "But we decided not to take it."
