The Double A affiliate for the Cardinals pulled off the most unlikely comeback in organized baseball this year.
The Springfield Cardinals were facing the Corpus Christi Hooks on Sunday afternoon at home in a wild game that saw Springfield enter the bottom of the ninth trailing 14–6 and still come away with the victory.
The inning started promisingly for the Cardinals, who had the bases loaded and one out after a trio of singles. Hooks pitcher Adrian Chaidez then walked in the first run of the inning, but it looked like Chaidez would be able to escape the inning after he struck out Thomas Saggese for the second out of the inning.
