Travis Hanson hit his seventh home run of the season with a solo shot in the bottom of the second inning. That blast got the Cardinals on the board and cut the Travelers lead to 4-1.

In the fifth inning, Springfield took over with a five-run rally. Tyler Minges walked on four pitches with the bases loaded to score Reid Gorecki to start the scoring. That ended sent Arkansas starter Casey Olenberger to the showers. Hanson struck again with a two-run single to tie the game. Robinson Cancel and Papo Bolivar followed with RBI sacrifice flies to end the rally and give Springfield a 6-4 lead.
