Nelson County had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Bethlehem on Wednesday. The Cardinals never let the Eagles/Banshees get on the board and left with a 12-0 win. Considering the Cardinals have won ten matchups by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

In other batting news, Nora Kate Simpson was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. Aaralynn Boblitt was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
