Wetherholt leads Springfield past Travs 10-3
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–The Springfield Cardinals continued their Texas League North series with Arkansas Wednesday night.
The Travs are the Double AA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
Both the Cardinals and Travelers are tied for first in the north.
And southpaw Ixan Henderson was on the hill, looking to go 2-0 on the season.
He ends the first by striking out Bill Knight swinging.
Henderson pitched five innings, gave up one run and struck out seven.
Then in the third he gets defensive help from J.J. Wetherholt who charges the softly hit ball, and throws to first for the out.
Scoreless in the bottom of the third, a man on for Wetherholt, and the Cardinals top prospect takes this deep to left center, his first Double AA homer, and it's 2-0 Springfield.
One batter later, R.J. Yeager takes this deep to left, it's gone, a solo shot it's 3-0 Cardinals.
The next batter is Dakota Harris, and he goes deep to left, that's back to back jacks, that makes it 4-0.
J.J. Wetherholt was 3 for 4 with 4 RBI in the Cardinals 10-3 victory.
