Travs Stopped Short in Springfield
June 27, 2024 - Texas League (TL)
Arkansas Travelers News Release
Springfield, MO - A late push by the Arkansas Travelers was not enough on Wednesday night as they fell to the Springfield Cardinals by a score of 4-1. The Travs did not have a hit until the seventh inning but ended up leaving the bases loaded in that frame. They dented the scoreboard in the ninth while putting four hits on the board. Starter Blas Castano was perfect through three innings and worked his second longest outing of the season (5.1 IP) but took the loss. Cardinals starter Cooper Hjerpe threw five no-hit innings for the second consecutive start to earn his second straight win.
Moments That Mattered
* Springfield got to Castano in the fourth after a lead off walk. With one out a base hit drove in the game's first run. Then after another hit, an errant throw on a double steal brought in another.
* Arkansas scored in the ninth on a two out single by Victor Labrada. A base hit by Kaden Polcovich followed and brought the tying run to the plate but Jake Anchia's deep fly ball to centerfield was caught.
Notable Travs Performances
* 1B Hogan Windish: 2-3, BB, 2B, SB
* RHP Reid Morgan: 1.2 IP, H, 2 K
News and Notes
* Labrada and Brock Rodden both made their Travs and Double-A debuts after being promoted from High-A Everett yesterday.
