Stars Outmuscle Kansas City, 11-8
Springfield withstood an impressive performance by Kansas City catcher António De La Cruz to defeat the Kings, 11-8, at Kekambas Park. De La Cruz was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The winner was Springfield reliever Jorge Aybar, now 3-0. The loser was Ray Watkins. Springfield, now 25-4, is playing great baseball to start the year.

Had Shane Hutchinson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Hutchinson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 8-7, in favor of the Stars.

"I like the roll we're on," said Springfield manager Micah Grindley.
