Cardinals Dominate from the Get-Go! 
What a game, fellow Cardinals fans!
️ Our boys absolutely crushed it against the Washington Nationals with a commanding 10-0 victory. 
From the first inning, we set the tone with Lars Nootbaar leading off with a walk, followed by Masyn Winn doing the same. With bases almost loaded, Nolan Arenado singled, and then Willson Contreras delivered a double bringing in the first two runs! It was just the start we needed to rally our spirits! 
Pitching Precision and Solid Defense 
️
Our pitching staff was lights out today! The Nationals had few opportunities to get on the board thanks to our pitching depth. Pedro Pagés and Victor Scott II shone in the outfield as well, ensuring everything stayed locked down. Even when Washington's CJ Abrams tried to make things happen with a couple of hits, our defense was there to back up every play. Double plays were our best friend, nullifying threats and keeping the Nationals scoreless!
Consistent Offense Keeps the Score Rolling 
As the innings passed, runs kept piling up for the Cardinals. A key moment happened in the 5th when Ivan Herrera hit a crucial double, scoring Arenado and Contreras. Fast forward to the 8th inning, when Jordan Walker took a pitch to the body and the bases soon loaded up, leading to more scores. The offensive onslaught didn’t stop, and by the closing inning, we tacked on an additional run thanks to another wild pitch and some nifty base running from Walker! Just beautiful baseball.

Can't wait to see this momentum continue as we keep climbing in the standings. Let's keep the energy up, Cardinals nation!
