Amarillo Sod Poodles Soddies by Morning: Springfield Uses Two Huge Innings to Sink the Sod Poodles Home Opener There were fireworks after the game, but Springfield put together their own fireworks show in the 5th and 9th to sink Amarillo 16-7 in their home opener. A former Sod Poodle told me last night when asked about what to do when the wind is blowing out of Hodgetown: “Pray harder.” After a clean first inning from Amarillo starter, Arizona’s #26 prospect Roman Angelo, the Cardinals took advantage of the Panhandle wind blowing out early, homering in 4 consecutive innings between the 2nd and the 5th.
