Brock Peterson and David Popkins end June on a high note

Found June 30, 2013 on Cardinals Farm:
PLAYERS: Brock Peterson,  Anthony Garcia,  Mitchell Boggs,  Tyler Lyons,  Robert Stock,  Mitch Harris
TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals
The Baby Birds ended the night with a 2-4 record as Palm Beach and State College were your only winners. Palm Beach features some of the hottest Baby Bird hitters in Anthony Garcia and David Popkins who each hit close to .400 for the month of June and will be in contention for June Player of the Month. Another contender will be Brock Peterson of Memphis who collected 3 more hits on Sunday. An interesting prospect to watch is Johnson City’s Kenneth Peoples-Walls. A 4th round pick in 2011, Peoples-Walls is making the jump from the GCL Cards to Johnson City and off to a great start. In 8 games, the 19-year old is hitting .385. He needs to cut down on the K’s and raise the OBP to be in the consideration as a top prospect. Here are short game summaries of the Sunday games and individual performances: (AAA) A late Memphis rally fell short as the Redbirds scored twice in the ninth but lost 5-3. Brock Peterson had 3 more hits and Mitchell Boggs pitched a scoreless inning in relief. Tyler Ly...

Via Fox Sports Midwest  |  July 01, 2013
ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals have to be content to reach the midpoint of their season on a pace to win 98 games.
