A run in the top of the tenth off Cardinals reliever Pedro Echemendia lifted the Drillers to a 5-4 win, late Thursday evening.
The Drillers pushed across four runs in the second off Cardinals starter Sandy Alcantara and were held silent throughout the night, while Springfield got busy in the run column. The Cardinals scored four runs (including a pair on a two-run shot off the bat of Anthony Garcia) by the eighth to tie the game and ultimately force an additional inning.

Randy Arozarena (LF): 3-4, 2B, R, 2 RBIs
A quality start from Derian Gonzalez to go along with over a half-dozen tallies was perfect for a 7-1 Cardinals victory over the Hammerheads on Thursday.
Gonzalez lasted six innings, holding the Hammerheads to one run on just four hits. his second quality start in seven outings in 2017.
The Cardinals had a great day at the dish as well, with notable contributions from all of the starts in same shape or form. Chris Chinea and Darren Seferina led the way, as the infielders combined to go 6-for-8 with four extra-base hits and three driven in.

A three-run bomb in the fifteenth inning of the bat of designated hitter Andrew Knizner won a marathon game for the Chiefs by a 4-1 final score over the Snappers.
Knizner’s bomb came after over six frames, since the Snappers tied it at one in the ninth. It was Knizner’s seventh home run of the season.
