No June swoon for Springfield Cards
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.

Back to back 62's for Blanchet at Charity Championship
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–We're halfway through the 36th annual Price Cutter Charity Championship. And a golfer from Florida burned up the course in round two. Ozarks First's Chris Pinson has that story from Highland Springs. The second round of the 36th annual Price Cutter Charity Championship turned into a one-man show. As Chandler Blanchet set the tournament record for the lowest 36 hole total. The overnight leader began his day at 10 under par, but quickly found his groove and added to his lead with six birdies on the front 9 including an eagle to race out to minus 16. Chandler Blanchet/36-hole leader -20:'Rolled it really, really well today. Probably played the par 5s a little better yesterday but took care of everything else on the par 4s and 3s.' After making the turn, Blanchet birdied the par 5 11th, but then found trouble off the 12th tee. However, he managed to scrape out a par thanks to a great up and down from the bunker to remain bogey free. 'Ya know, 10-under's pretty special round and you're not gonna have those every day and I'm super thankful I had it today but who knows what I'll have tomorrow. Ya know so, I figured there'd be some point today where we'd miss a fairway or green it's ok, so I handled myself really well today,' said Blanchet. After that, Blanchet recorded three more red figures, vaulting him to 20 under par. He could've gotten to 21-under but missed his birdie putt on 18. 'Not much changes I've played this course write a few times now. So same targets same gameplan I feel super comfortable out here just attack the par 5s and get birdies when I can,' said Blanchet. Blanchet's 2-day total of 164 breaks the previous mark of 168 set back in 2015 by Dawie Van Der Walt. He's six shots clear of the field heading into the weekend. Putting himself in perfect position to win his first Korn Ferry Tournament. Reporting at Highland Springs Country Club, Chris Pinson Ozark's First.> Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
