The Cheney Cardinals will venture away from home to challenge the El Dorado Wildcats at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Cheney is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.6 runs per game this season.
Cheney's pitching crew heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They put the hurt on Trinity Academy with a sharp 7-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Cardinals, who have now won eight games by six runs or more so far this season.
Josh Burdick made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over 6.1 innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, Cheney got a massive performance out of Kaden Ludwig, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Cameron Eastman was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with five stolen bases and two runs.
Meanwhile, El Dorado had just enough and edged out Arkansas City 5-4 on Friday.
El Dorado is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-12 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for Cheney, their record is now 14-4.
Cheney took their victory against El Dorado in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 7-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cardinals since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
