The Hooks powered in front early with a two-run shot by DH Chase McDonald in the first, but Springfield plated three in the second to move in front. After a game-tying solo homer from 3B Jack Mayfield tied it in the bottom of the second, the Cardinals pulled in front with a C Carson Kelly solo home run and CF Harrison Bader s second RBI single of the day in the top of the fourth. A double-play ball from 1B Chris Jacobs brought in an insurance run in the fifth, and Springfield worked through a ninth-inning rally attempt for the 6-4 win with RHP Josh Lucas getting his first save of the year. Welcome to Double-A With a pair of two-out RBI singles on Sunday, CF Harrison Bader continued to take the Texas League by storm. Through the first four games, the 21 year old is 9x19 (.474) with three RBIs, two runs and a steal. The Bronxville, NY native holds the early league lead in hits, while only trailing teammate 2B Bruce Caldwell (.500, 7x14) in the league s average column. Hello Bruce With a bunt single on Sunday, 2B Bruce Caldwell continued to match Bader with an early four-game hitting streak of his own, leading the league with an early.500 batting average (7x14). In just his first full Double-A season, Caldwell has added a homer, a double, a triple, four RBIs, five runs scored and four walks through his first four games.
