Canfield had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 14-run drubbing they dealt Columbiana on Friday. The Cardinals never let the Clippers get on the board and left with a 14-0 victory. Considering the Cardinals have won six games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Sean Harrington looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Zain Jadallah and Joey Gabriel did most of the damage at the plate: Jadallah went 1-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Gabriel got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one RBI. Those four runs gave Gabriel a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jake Dovich, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Canfield was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .391. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Columbiana only posted a batting average of .062.

Canfield's win bumped their record up to 12-8. As for Columbiana, they now have a losing record of 10-11.

Looking ahead, Canfield will head out on the road to face off against GlenOak at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Columbiana, they will welcome Western Reserve at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Blue Devils will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something the Clippers surely won't give up without a fight.
