Cardinals top the Blue Sox

By Megan Phelps and Justin Berry
In an early game beginning at 5pm Grottoes Cardinals won over the Elkton Blue Sox. The final score was 10-2 in what seemed like a close game in the beginning. The Cardinals started scoring runs after the 4th inning, and couldn’t be stopped. The Cardinals coach, Tim Nicely, said that his win was due to his strategy of switching out players so everyone got a chance to play and thrive. He gave credit to their recovery guys stating that they really pulled the game through all the way to the end.
 
We also got the chance to interview Cardinals player Austin Nicely after the game. Austin had a great hit and had several RBI’s during the game. Austin stated that he was proud of his team. Austin continued and said that he was hoping for a win but he did not think it would be by so much. He agreed with Coach Tim Nicely, saying the second half of their team made it possible to get the win. Austin’s personal goal this season is, “…during this crazy 2020 year to just have fun.” Overall, last night’s game had a lot of high performing athletes, with the Cardinals using every aspect of their team.
