Arkansas Travelers News Release
Springfield, MO - The Springfield Cardinals hit four home runs and handed the Arkansas Travelers a 7-1 loss on Wednesday night. Michael McGreevy delivered a strong six innings on the mound for the Cards and picked up his first Double-A win in his second Double-A start. Travs pitcher Connor Jones could not recapture the magic from his no-hitter last week and was knocked for four runs over five innings. Arkansas scored first on a two double by Connor Hoover in the top of the second but was held to only one hit the rest of the game.
Moments That Mattered
* After the Travs took the lead, Springfield answered in the bottom of the inning on a line drive homer by Julio Rodriguez to tie the score.
* Jones looked poised to get out of the third inning with no damage, but Moises Gomez drove a 1-2 pitch out to centerfield for his league best 18th home run on the year to put the Cardinals on top.
Notable Travs Performances
* SS Connor Hoover: 1-2, BB, 2B, RBI
* RHP Jake Haberer: IP, BB, K
