Springfield Cardinals News Release


SPRINGFIELD, MO - Liam Doyle twirled his best start as a pro, striking out a career-high eight Corpus Christi Hooks batters in a 7-5 Cardinals' win on Saturday night at Route 66 Stadium.

Doyle allowed two runs on five hits without issuing a walk. He completed five innings for the first time this season but did not factor into the decision.

The Cardinals jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning, but the Hooks came back to eventually tie the game, 5-5.

Jeremy Rivas delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the bottom of the eighth and Mason Burns shut the door in the ninth for his third save.

DECISIONS:

W: Love (1-3)

L: Rodriguez (0-1)

S: Burns (3)

NOTES:

- Miguel Ugueto homered in the first inning to get the scoring started for the Cardinals. He also doubled and recorded Springfield's first triple of the season. He finished a single shy of Springfield's first cycle since Thomas Saggese in 2023.

- Rivas extended his hitting streak to seven games with his game-winning hit in the eighth.

UP NEXT:

- Springfield (11-21) vs. Corpus Christi (15-17)

- Sunday, May 10, 1:15 p.m. CT at Route 66 Stadium

- SHP Jurrangelo Cijntje vs. LHP Trey Dombroski
