Cards’ drop district rivals to double shutout in Regional Quarterfinals
Cards’ drop district rivals to double shutout in Regional Quarterfinals
HALLETTSVILLE – The Columbus Cardinal s’ baseball team understood the challenges of facing a district opponent in the playoffs and the hurdles they would have to clear to claim an advantage over a team they had played twice already. During the district season against the Industrial Cobras, the teams split their competitions as Industrial claimed the first matchup by a 7-4 margin and Columbus won the second by a score of 11-4. The offense was not nearly as potent in the postseason rematch against these teams as the familiarity led to some highly defensive and tight games. However, when the offense could not get going, the Cards relied on the quality pitching and defense they have benefitted from all season to help them claim a twogame shutout sweep over their district rivals. The Cardinals will continue their postseason run into the regional semifinals with a series against Saint Gertrudis Academy for a chance to move on to the regional finals. 05/24/2023 12:00 AM
