A Cardinals farm team learned the hard way they need to pay more attention to the books.

Because they used Kelly Stinnett, who was ineligible, the Memphis Redbirds had to forfeit a 7-6 win against the Iowa Cubs. 

Stinnett was placed on the MLB restricted list but was used anyway as a pinch hitter. 

Stinnett singled and drove in a run.
