In the 5th inning, the game finally broke open for the Cardinals. Jordan Walker, Nathan Church, and Jose Fermín all worked crucial walks to load the bases, paving the way for Lars Nootbaar to drive in the first run and light up the scoreboard. Ivan Herrera played hero next, singling to right and bringing in another run. We didn't stop there, as Nolan Gorman drew a bases-loaded walk, and Masyn Winn grounded into a double play that allowed a fourth run to score. Our Redbirds led 4-0, a lead that would be challenged but not overcome!A Tight Finish; Cards Hold on!
