Springfield drills Tulsa to open long home stand
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–Springfield will play 12 home games over the next 13 days. And that will bring the first place Cardinals to the halfway point of the Texas League season. If Springfield can hold on, they'll win the first half North title. In our Cardinals Nation update, Springfield would get on the board in the second, scoreless when Chase Davis takes this deep to right, it just gets over the fence for a two run homer, it's 2-0 Springfield. The next batter is Joshua Baez, and he takes this the other way, over the fence in left, back to back jacks and it's 3-0 Cardinals. Hancel Rincon was called up to Double AA Monday, and Tuesday he strikes out Damon Keith in the fourth, Rincon went five innings with eight strikeouts, that ties his career high. Springfield lead 6-1 in the fifth when Baez would muscle up again, this time a drive to left, over the bullpen and gone, a two run shot, his second homer of the game, 8-1 Springfield. And the Cardinals beat Tulsa 8-3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Springfield home for its playoff run
Hello everyone, I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. The Springfield Cardinals will have the home field advantage for their first half playoff run. In our Cardinals Nation update. Springfield will open a two week home stand Tuesday night against the Tulsa Drillers. It's the only time this season that the Cardinals will be at Hammons Field for back to back series. And it couldn't come at a better time. Springfield will open the series with a three game lead on the Texas League North. If the Cardinals are still in first place on June 22nd they would win the North's first half championship. And with that comes a ticket to the Texas League playoffs in September. Tulsa is in for six games, then Corpus Christi is in from June 17th through the 22nd. Springfield took five of the six games played at Tulsa in May. And they have not faced the Hooks yet. Both Tulsa and Corpus Christi are in last place in their respective divisions. For more sports watch Ozarks First news at nine and ten. And I'll see you then. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
