SPRINGFIELD, MO - The Springfield Cardinals, trailing 8-4 in the tenth inning, walked off the Arkansas Travelers 9-8 thanks to an extra inning comeback to even the series at one.
DECISIONS:
W: Andrew Schultz (3-0)
L: Brock Moore (1-3)
NOTES:
Tre Richardson III launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth, his second longball at Double-A.
