Wetherholt heating up as Springfield stops the Soddies
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–The Springfield Cardinals wrapped up their home stand Sunday afternoon against Amarillo. This will be the last time these two teams play in the regular season. And the Cardinals were looking for their ninth win in the 12 games played between the two teams. J.J. Wetherholt would jump start the baby birds in the first. He rips this rocket to right, way over the fence and off the Mercy sign, oh mercy, a two run shot, it's 2-0. It was 3-0 Springfield in the fourth when Ramon Mendoza singles to left R.J. Yeager scores it's 4-0. The Sod Poodles get one back in the fifth, Ivan Melendez takes this deep to left, into the bullpen, a solo shot it's 4-1. But Chase Davis gets that back in the bottom half, this single to center scores Leonardo Bernal, 5-1. Springfield wins 6-1, afterwards I caught up with the St. Louis' top prospect who's hit two home runs in the last two games. 'It's been a lot of fun doing what I try to do. Control the zone, look for my certain spots, pitches that I want to be on. Just let everything else take care of itself in the box. We've been doing that pretty well. We've had some good plans. And just put some good swings on some balls. It's one of those things. There are so many ups and downs in a season, it's so long. You have to put it behind you and keep doing what you're doing. Create a plan each day and go to work,' said Wetherholt. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Springfield has lost four of its last six games. The Cards had lefty Brycen Mautz on the hill, he was looking for his first Springfield victory in his seventh start. He had his stuff early, the southpaw strikes out Kristian Robinson to start the game. Mautz would get some offensive help in the second, Brody Moore takes this deep to left, into the bullpen for a two run homer, it's 2-0 baby birds. But in the third, Mautz would get the grounder to first, the flip to the pitcher and Mautz injures his right ankle and had to leave the game. Springfield's Ricardo Velez takes over, he ends the inning with this strikeout here, still 2-0. Then in the fourth, it's J.J. Wetherholt with the shoestring catch at second to end the frame. Wetherholt hit a homer in the Cards two run eighth, and Springfield wins 4-3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
