Seemingly simultaneous, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Memphis Redbirds will experience first pitch around 6pm central tonight. One- the Cardinals- begin a 3-game series with a bottom-dwelling divisional foe. The other- the Redbirds- play their final game of the 2017 season and one for all the marbles.
Tonight, the Memphis Redbirds have earned their way to the triple-A championship game and will face-off against the Durham Bulls at 6pm tonight. This one game is a winner-take-all and will crown the 2017 triple-A champs.
Taking the mound for Memphis tonight is rising-star Dakota Hudson.
