-Amarillo swung in front with three in the bottom of the 4th, but a solo shot from LF Conner Capel in the 5th evened it at 3-3.

-After a go-ahead solo home run from Amarillo RF Edward Olivares in the 5th, Springfield again seized the lead in the 6th when Robertson tied it with his second homer of the game, a solo shot, followed later in the inning with a go-ahead RBI sac fly from C José Godoy to lift the Cardinals ahead, 5-4.

-The Cardinals opened the lead with four two-out runs in the 8th on an RBI single from 3B Evan Mendoza, a run-scoring error and a two-run home run from 1B Chris Chinea, making it 9-4.
