From Special Reports

The Wallace Pump and Supply Cardinals were only a run away from tarnishing what has been a spotless season so far, but the Murphree Bridge Corporation Orioles could only score one run in the sixth in a tight 6-5 win by the Cards.

After jumping out to a slim 3-2 lead on the Cardinals, the Orioles allowed two runs in the third and one run in both the fourth and fifth innings as the game went nip and tuck down to the wire.

Justin Cope, pitching for the Orioles and Jim Wallace for the Cards both saw good days on the mound with Wallace picking up the win and Cope taking the hard-fought loss.

Jerad Loftin led the charge at the plate for the Cardinals with a 2-for-2 showing and scoring twice while Zack Ethridge and Jeffrey Davis both had a pair of hits as well, Davis getting two RBI’s.

Cope finished with a 2-for-3 day while Darion Wilson, Cooper Nichols and Adrian Gillis all had hits for the Orioles.

Cardinals 16, Dodgers 5

The Cards capped their 16th win of their current undefeated season with a 16-5 drumming of the Kohn Motor Co. Dodgers on Saturday.

In a very offensive affair, the Cards scored in every inning finally knocking the Dodgers out of striking distance with seven runs in the top of the fifth. Andrew Powell picked up the win for the Cards as the two teams combined for 25 hits on the day.

Jim Wallace had a great day at the plate going 4-for-4 on the day while Chris Welch went 3-for-3 and Davis, Percy Lee, Jordan and Powell all added two hits apiece. Ethridge had a hit as well.
