Tough Battle in Atlanta
Despite a valiant effort from our St. Louis Cardinals, the boys couldn't hold on against the Braves, falling 6-7 in a hard-fought game at Truist Park.Great Start but Heartbreaking Ending
The Cards kicked off strong in the second inning, with Nolan Gorman doubling to center before a throwing error from the Braves let Pedro Pagés cross home plate. Big props to Victor Scott II for reaching base and then stealing second, eventually scoring to give the Cards a solid 2-0 lead.
Throughout the game, our pitching staff worked hard to keep the Braves at bay. They managed to keep Atlanta scoreless until the third inning when a homer by Austin Riley tied things up. But hey, Arenado's double followed by Gorman's clutch single later put us back on top, 3-2, in the sixth!
Down to the Wire in the 9th
It all came down to the ninth inning. With the Cards trailing 7-3 after a tough eighth, Pedro Pagés knocked a ground-rule double before Victor Scott II drove him in with another double.
After that, the magic continued with a two-run homer from Willson Contreras to bring us within one run. 
The rally was real, but despite Brendan Donovan's walk and Nolan Arenado's strong at-bat, we just couldn't quite make it. It was a nail-biting finish, but the Braves managed to hang on to their lead.
Proud of Our Team
A tough loss, but it's games like these that remind us of why we love baseball. Shoutout to the entire roster for playing with heart and determination throughout the entire game.
We'll get them next time, Cards fans! Always proud to wear the bird on the bat!
