Winning always takes teamwork, but on Saturday Elijah Melancon stepped things up a notch to give Eunice the 'W'. Melancon struck out six batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk).

The Panthers are limping into the matchup having lost 12 straight at home dating back to last season. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Melancon and the Cardinals have enough to stop it? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
