Springfield pushed over three tallies in both the second and third innings off starter Cook, who was having trouble keeping his curve from hanging but deserved to be unscored on in each frame. In the second, Tom Johnson walked, moved along on a sacrifice and wild pitch, then beat Cook's pitch with a dramatic steal of home.
