Cardinals Take Tight Tangle
Northwest Arkansas pitcher Joe Anderson gave the Cardinals all they could handle, but in the end, Springfield left Hammons Field with a win, 2-1. Anderson allowed no runs on 1 hit over 7.1 innings. The defeat makes Northwest Arkansas 72-65.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Springfield catcher Chris Sweet, facing Del Jacobs, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Cardinals the 2-1 win.

"This place was jumping at the end," Sweet said.
