Four walk-offs in one day for one organization?! Here's how it happened
Talk about doing it The Cardinal Way.
The St. Louis club has long prided itself on its organizational philosophy for building winners. On Wednesday night, the Cardinals and their affiliates proved that everyone is still on the same page.
In a fun bit of baseball symmetry, four Cardinals teams each won in walk-off fashion, from the big league club all the way down to the High-A affiliate.
In St. Louis, the big league Cardinals capped their comeback win against the Brewers with a Nolan Arenado walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning.
Down in Triple-A, the Memphis Redbirds won their game against the Charlotte Knights with a walk-off sac fly from first baseman Alfonso Rivas III.
Meanwhile, in Double-A, utilityman Noah Mendlinger notched a 10-inning win for the Springfield Cardinals with a walk-off single against the Tulsa Drillers.
Finally, in High-A, outfielder Darlin Moquete socked a two-run walk-off homer that gave the Peoria Chiefs a come-from-behind win over the Fort Wayne TinCaps.
According to Baseball Reference's Jessica Brand, it's not the first time this has happened, in case you were wondering. The Rangers organization had four teams walk off on May 9, 2018.
