Overview
- Stephen F. Austin’s club baseball team, which visited Friday, kicked off a shirtless “Tarps Off” wave in right field during the Cardinals’ extra-innings walk-off over the Royals.
- After Friday’s scene, Oli Marmol posted that he would buy tickets for the right-field Loge, and the club said the free seats for both weekend games were claimed by Saturday afternoon.
- The Lumberjacks returned Saturday after their own win and the right-field sections revived the chants during St. Louis’ 4-2 victory, with players and even the stadium organist joining the fun.
- Following Saturday’s game, Marmol led the SFA players into the Cardinals clubhouse for a thank-you celebration with photos, autographs, and swag as the team praised the energy boost.
- “Tarps Off” means fans take shirts off and whirl them like towels, a staple in soccer that is rare in MLB, and while there is no plan beyond this weekend, the club signaled interest in nurturing the trend.
