The Double-A Cardinals are coming down the home stretch with only 10 games remaining in the 2021 season and a record of 41-69. Springfield has struggled offensively, defensively and on the mound, resulting in last place status for most of the campaign despite a 3-3 record in the last week. While many from opening day have been called up to Triple-A Memphis, newcomer Matt Koperniak has heated up at the plate, batting .385 in September.
