Tommy s turnaround Despite the first portion of May being a cool stretch, INF Tommy Edman enjoyed a torrid final stretch of the month that has continued into June. The San Diego native has hit in 10 of his last 11 games, hitting.333 (16x48), 2 HR, 7 RBI, 3 2B, 11 R during that stretch. Currently on a six-game hitting streak with hits in every game during the past homestand, Edman has actually fared better on the road this year, hitting.275 with two homers, six doubles, two triples, 14 RBIs and 20 runs in 27 games away from Hammons Field. Edmundo s mundo It has been INF Edmundo Sosa s world of late, as the 22 year old Panama City native caught fire to close May and open June. He has hit safely in 10 of his last 13G, batting.400 (20x50) with two home runs, four doubles, 12 RBIs and seven multi-hit performances during that stretch, increasing his season average from.230 to.275 since 5/18.

Trosclair s career night INF Stefan Trosclair tied a Springfield Cardinals all-time record with five hits on Saturday, going 5x5 with five singles while adding an RBI and two runs. It marks his first-career five-hit game as he becomes the seventh all-time Springfield Cardinal to accomplish that feat, last done by the late OF Oscar Taveras on 6/4/12 vs. Corpus Christi. Lane launches a pair OF Lane Thomas s two blasts on Saturday, followed by a base hit on Sunday, continue a red-hot trend for the Knoxville, TN native, who has hit safely in eight of his last nine. During that stretch, he is hitting.316 (12x38) with two homers, two doubles and 11 RBIs. Northwest s nightmare OF Victor Roache has clobbered the Naturals this year, hitting.341 (15x44) with six homers and 10 RBIs in 12 games. Swinging at the start With two more home runs to start innings on Saturday, the Cardinals have now hit a remarkable 19 homers to open frames this year. Leading off innings in general, Springfield is hitting.270 with 24 doubles and five triples to go along with the 19 jacks. Four or more The Cardinals are a lopsided 25-9 when scoring 4+ runs this year. However, they have gone just 3-19 when scoring three or fewer.
