Springfield Cardinals News Release

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR - Ixan Henderson delivered his best start of the season, but the Springfield Cardinals were unable to hold on to a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and fell to the Arkansas Travelers, 2-1, on Wednesday night at Dickey-Stephens Park. Bill Knight delivered a walk-off two-run single against Luis Gastelum to give the Travelers the series-opening win.

W: Juan Burgos (1-1)

L: Luis Gastelum (0-1)

NOTES:

- Nathan Church followed a Miguel Ugueto double with a RBI-single in the third inning to account for Springfield's only run of the game.

- Springfield left 10 runners on base and finished 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

- Austin Love and Zane Mills each recorded scoreless innings in relief of Henderson.
