The Cardinals improved to 3-5 with a hard fought win over OLM - 1 last night (5/29). Excellent pitching from Mike Lapinski and Christian Funfgeld, who made his 2007 debut.
The boys jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and cruised to an 11-10 victory. Leading the way were Elijah Rustin, who was 2 for 2 with a walk, 3 runs scored and 4 stolen bases, James Carroll, who was 1-2 with a walk, and 2 runs scored, Chris Morgan, who was 3-3 with 2 RBIs and 3 stolen bases and Marc Shepard, who went 2-2 with 2 RBIs.
The Coach Carroll Player of the Game was James Carroll, who made his 2007 catching debut and immediately took control of the game. In the top of the 4th inning, an OLM Runner brutally crashed into James, causing serious injury and necessitating his removal from the field. James held on to the ball to complete the double play. James also maintained his position in the batting order so as to avoid an automatic out and in the bottom of the 4th, he laid down a perfect safety squeeze bunt, beat the throw to first and scored what proved to be the winning run on a sac fly by Mike Lapinksi.
Unfortunately, we have now lost James for the season, has he suffered a mild concussion, buckle fracture to his right arm and bone chip to the growth plate on his right thumb.
Next game is Tuesday June 5th at Giese Park against St. Edwards. Please be there by 5:15pm.
