JUPITER, Fla. — Violent weather, including a reported tornado a few blocks away from the ballpark, moved into the area about a half hour after the St. Louis Cardinals affiliates finished their camp games Tuesday at Roger Dean Stadium. An early start time and quick games allowed the minor leaguers to finish before rain lashed the fields and angry winds kicked up all kinds of dirt and wood chips that surround the area.

Still, they got the games in, and they both featured upsets, with the lower level upending the higher level in each of the two games: Class AA over Class AAA, Low-A over High-A. The Vuch Report:
