Luke Voit is not discouraged. He knows there’s a lot of series left.
The Texas League batting champ collected three hits in the Cardinals 9-6 loss to Northwest Arkansas Wednesday night at Hammons Field in the Texas League North Division Championship Series opener.
“We battled hard, and had some chances,” Voit said. “It’s a five game series, hopefully the ball falls our way tomorrow.”
On paper, it looked to be a matchup between two of the Texas League’s tougher starters. Instead it quickly turned into a bullpen game. Ten combined pitchers took the hill.
Springfield starter Daniel Poncedeleon faced five batters in the third inning but left the frame without recording an out.
