Notables:

• Greg Garcia (2B): 2-5, R, 2 RBI, K
• Randal Grichuk (CF): 1-5, 2B, 2 K
• Oscar Taveras (DH): 2-4, 2 R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, BB, K

• Justin Wright (RP): 1.2 IP, 5 H, 4 H, 2 BB, K

Notes:

• Oscar Taveras was clearly the hitting star for Memphis. He has 8 extra base hits (2 HR, 6 2B) in his last 10 games. On a related note the parent club will need a DH for 7 straight games at the beginning of June.
• Tim Cooney and the Memphis bullpen were rocked. The Redbirds were down 11 runs before they got on the board. They rallied for 8 runs in the 8th to get back in the game, but didn't have quite enough to come all the way back.

Springfield 1 - Midland 0

Notables:

• Mike O'Neill (LF): 0-4
• Jacob Wilson (2B): 1-4
• Cody Stanley (C): 2-4, 2B

• Marco Gonzales (SP): 7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
• Ryan Sherriff (RP): 2 IP, 3 K

Notes:

• The Springfield offense didn't show up, but luckily the pitching staff bailed them out. The S-Cards hitters were only able to come up with 2 extra base hits, and they didn't draw a single walk.
• Marco Gonzales had another strong start for Springfield. The 2013 1st rounder threw 65 of his 97 pitches for strikes. Ryan Sherriff backed him up with a 2 inning save.

• Christopher Thomas (RP): 1 IP
