No June swoon for Springfield Cards
Hello everyone, I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. The Springfield Cardinals are loving the month of June. In our Cardinals Nation update. The baby birds have played eight games in the month of June. And Springfield has won seven of them. That includes Tuesday night's 8-3 victory over Tulsa. In that game, Springfield's right fielder Joshua Baez hit two home runs. The first came in the first inning and gave Springfield a 3-0 lead. The second came in the fifth inning. Springfield would beat the Drillers by five. The Cardinals still own a three game lead on the Texas League North with 11 games left in the first half of the season. If Springfield can stay in first, it'll earn a playoff ticket. The Double AA franchise won the first half last year. And the team has never won back to back playoff tickets in franchise history. For more sports watch Ozarks First news at nine and ten. And I'll see you then. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
