Cards take 3rd 10-inning win in Frisco, winning 9-7 on Saturday

Frisco, TX - For the third time in the last four days, the Springfield Cardinals won a 10-inning game against the Frisco RoughRiders, prevailing, 9-7, in 10 frames on Saturday night. After escaping a no-out jam in the bottom of 9th with SS Delvin Perez throwing out the would-be winning run at home and a pair of strikeouts from RHP Jacob Bosiokovic to force the 10th inning, a run-scoring error followed by RBI singles from CF Nick Plummer and RF Alec Burleson lifted the Cardinals ahead, 9-6. Bosiokovic worked around an unearned run in the bottom of the 10th to close the win, 9-7, and send the Cardinals to the series lead, 3-games-to-2.

Decisions:
W - RHP Jacob Bosiokovic (5-3)
L - RHP Steven Villines (4-3)
