Springfield rallies late, tops Poodles 4-3
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–The Springfield Cardinals continued their home stand with Amarillo Saturday night.
The Sod Poodles have won the last two games and were threatening to take the series.
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.
