Evan Mendoza: 1-4, HR
Springfield’s problem was it couldn’t hold on to any advantage.
Evan Mendoza and Shane Billings both hit a home run in a five-run fourth inning that turned a 5-1 deficit into a 6-5 advantage, but the Cardinals immediately gave it up by surrendering three runs in the top of the fifth.
Springfield didn’t get a good start out of Casey Meisner, who went four innings and gave up five runs, eight hits, two walks, and struck out one.
