Myers Park barely beat South Mecklenburg the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around.

The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by seven runs or more this season.

The Cardinals put the hurt on the Trojans with a sharp 20-2 victory. The win was familiar territory for the Cardinals, who have now won four games in a row.
Aiden Lowery made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched.
