Red trucks will drive around the warning track, hot dogs will be consumed and Springfield Cardinals baseball will be played as opening night of the 2023 season is here.
Springfield opens its 2023 campaign at Hammons Field with a 6:35 p.m. first pitch on Thursday against the Wichita Wind Surge. The three-game series will feature a 6:35 p.m. game on Friday and a 6:05 p.m. game on Saturday.
The Cardinals' roster isn't as loaded as it was last year with Jordan Walker now starting for the big-league team and Masyn Winn now playing up with Triple-A Memphis.
